List of Plants Toxic To Pond Fish

A pond can seem incomplete without a few choice plants that give it more color and a natural touch. However, we must be careful what plants we plant in and around our pond, as many of them can be toxic to our fish.

We have created a list of toxic plants that you should avoid planting or remove from your garden before building a pond. For your convenience, the toxic plants for fish are arranged in alphabetical order.
