There are pros and cons of current - stream versus pond conditions. Current helps some fish spawn successfully. Some algae prefer current and some are hindered by it. Some insect larvae thrive better in current. Current can speed the decay of bottom sediments by keeping them better oxygenated. IMO a pond with some current increases the amount a diversity of habitat; both conditions in the same water body.
