The Living Pond: Water gardens with fish & other creatures (2000)
by Helen Nash
The author covers goldfish ponds, koi ponds, water quality, filtration, fish health, turtle ponds, and bird ponds.
Includes lots of color photographs.
Does not recommend keeping snapping turtles in a pond, noting, "They get along with no other species, including their own."
Offers advice for keeping raccoons away from ponds: "Suspend fox-urine-soaked rags around the pond's perimeter. (Effective, but perhaps not the method of choice for an outside dinner party.)"
Includes a long list of butterfly-attractive plants.
