How are beta with koi and gold fish

Tropical water fish, don’t do well with the cooler water temps. Guppies can take it better than the bettas. If you have goldfish and koi, you might try cooler water minnows

Googled it, I buy 25 guppies every spring but the other fish must eat them. Going to but some 3 inch rainbow trout

Beautiful pond and property!

This is supposed to work and it does indoors as I have tried it but for outdoors you would need quite a few containers or maybe just one big one near your pond:

Make an attractant by mixing together 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir in a few drops of dish washing liquid and pour the solution into several jars. Set the jars in places where the gnats are congregating, indoors or out, such as near your garden or on the kitchen windowsill. Leave the traps in place as long as necessary to attract and kill the gnats.

I'll try it

We have done something similar when we’ve had an outbreak of fruit flies. Have never tried it outdoors.

You will get along very well w/ @callingcolleen1 as she has a whole green house full of neat stuff like that.
Yours looks really cool w/all that moss background too and you have put a lot of heart and soul into it!

Here is a sample of Colleens video's in her greenhouse of fairies etc. She has a ton more video's too.

Such a cool fairy garden! Or in your case, gnome garden. Did you put the moss on the tree, or did it grow there on its own?

(I love that rail track coming out of the tree!)
