In the middle of my search for a pond site in upstate New York, I came across an existing pond for sale. I'm a little skeptical because it seems like quite a bargain. I hope to see it next week.

Obviously, dead fish, unwholesome smells and massive algae blooms are bad... while swarms of small fish in the shallows are probably good.

Can you suggest some signs of a pond's health?

Love this website - what a treasure trove!

Thanks,
Ken
