Goldfish pond

taken Feb 5, 2011 walk-around area

What a neglected and ugly exhibit.

As ornamental ponds go, that's probably teeming with life. It doesn't look neglected either as the plants have been trimmed away from the margins.

You can see a goldfish peeking out from that small clear area near the middle. I also took a closeup, but thought it would be more interesting to see the whole pond. It seemed ok to me.

With so much organic debris goldfish and koi get eye and scale disease,along with fungus.

It doesn't appear to be debris considering the plant life is teeming and is still green and does not have appeared to withered or start to decompose. If it was dying and a paler colour, I would agree with you and your statement is correct. I just dispute that the plants in there are counted as debris.
