what type of filters do you all suggest for your water gardens?

I found a few baby fist this morning, first time ever.  They are very dark.  Do Gold Fish and Koi look like minnows when they are born?  When do they get color?  I put some pine boughs in so they can hide from the bigger fish.  Hopefully they will survive.

Julie, locate your nearest Water Garden Society or Koi Society.  They can give you advice; if you are a member you may have access to a full library, lots of free gifted plants and fish, and training from basic to more advanced.  You can probably Google Water Garden Societies; maybe narrow search to your state.  If you can't find a local organization, give me a shout back and I will look into more info sources or pose specific questions to this group.  Enjoy your pond.

We have a Koi pond with a gravel bog we built above it that flows down into the pond and circulates back up from the pond.  I have several plants in the gravel bog doing great.  Want to know if anyone would know about putting ferns directly into the gravel bog which is a plant I haven't tried - there are some ferns - namely cinnamon and royal - that I have found grow in sun as long as they stay moist and have been noted to grow in streams - just wondering if they would work in gravel (pea size) w/o the dirt??  Has anyone tried that?
