Question is; Do they have fish ponds in gardens in QLD? I must admit that I did not notice them when we were over for our recci, and I did not notice fish/pond related items in any shops. If they do have ponds, what breeds of fish?? Aircon

I was quite skeptical to begin with as termites are everywhere and I didn't know if they ate fish. Or was it the birds I was worried about? Anyway, apparently you can have a pond but just make sure its got plenty of leafy pondy stuff in it so the fish can hide and above all ensure that the frogs or toads don't all end up in it. We're thinking of having an above ground pond. Not because of the termites silly, just so we can sit on the edge in comfort and dangle our tootsies in on a hot summer's day. Paul.

You're going to love going around some of the builder's display homes. It's not uncommon to have a modern style fish pond form a centrally enclosed feature in some of them! Paul.
