My new pond[check it out]

[CyberGhost]

I just finished my new pond its about a 4ft diameter circle pond not exactly but close and it ranges from a few inches to a ft in the deepest part. I have 6 baby fish in it 4 baby perch and 2 baby catfish but they are very small and hide under the rocks at the bottom I would like to know how to attract some other species to my pond mainly frogs, turtles, lizards. This would really be a help if you can't help me there matbe somone could help me with some tips on going and catching herps and relocating them to my pond. Thank you and PLZ help?

Well where do you live? There are different ways of attracting different species.

I live in west texas.

[Conas]

what part of west texas do you live in?

[CyberGhost]

eastern west texas about 130 miles below lubbok and about 30mi from midland odessa. Does that help?

[shaggybill]

No, that doesnt help. I need to know what your exact latitudinal and longitudinal positioning is...

haha!

Cool!! I live in Fort Worth . Lots of Texans on this site, eh? It's really neat . Glad you got that pond set up... I'm going to build one of my own, too when my dad gets the chance to help me

I put in a few ponds and surrounding gardens,I think that's about all you need to attract critters.
I'm in Florida though so it may be different than where you're at,but I got frogs within a week of putting in every one of my ponds . Lizards always come too but unless you have a really big pond,which you don't ,you're not likely to get or even keep turtles unless you fence it in after you pu turtles in.
Turtles can pollute your pond really quickly though so I wouldn't advise it,especially if you don't have any type of filtration system.
Moving water is a good idea,even if it's not filtered.
Good luck and enjoy
