Gidday - what plants to use to provide oxygen for a frog/fish pond and
how many? Frogs in backyard when weather is good. Maybe when the
weather improves they will hop into mine. Assistance appreciated.
Cheers

I don't think you need any specific plants, any that will thrive and do the
job should do. Avoid things given to you by well-meaning friends unless you
are very sure that they are not noxious species or harbouring same. I was
given some lovely green stuff that turned out to be salvinia molesta! Look
on council web sites for pics and details of noxious water weeds.
