Creating a Native Saltwater Pond: Adding Fish and Invertebrates

TLDRIn this video, we add fish and invertebrates to our native saltwater pond. We start by catching glass minnows and blue stripe grunts from the dock. Then, we use a rod and reel to catch sand perch. The fish are introduced to the pond, along with blennies, creating a vibrant ecosystem for native species. Stay tuned for future videos on expanding the pond!
