FAQ: Can You Have Fish in a Natural Swimming Pool?
Yes, our NSP filtration system is engineered to handle a full range of potential contaminates including fish waste! Koi can be a little aggressive (they like to root & destroy plants) so we often recommend simple goldfish (10-12 to start) because they look pretty and are not a nuisance to swimmers.
We recommend that you don't feed your fish; we have found they have no trouble finding their own food in the Natural Pool. Plus, not feeding your fish will allow them to become a beneficial part of the natural ecosystem -- they will keep your NSP clean by eating up any green fuzzies on rocks/plants. Blue tilapia and Chinese Banded Sharks are especially good at this cleaning task!
