New ponds can be seeded with water from a good "healthy" pond. What survives will be dependent on if the conditions are favorable for the seeded organisms. Almost all aquatic organisms have an inherent set of conditions or parameters for survival and/or reproduction. If those characteristics are not met the organisms die. Example - water temperature and dissolved oxygen for trout.
