Stock ponds are generally designed to maximize the amount of open water while minimizing the growth of cattails and other aquatic plants.
Treatment of entire ponds should be done in sections to prevent low oxygen levels due to decomposing plant material following herbicide application.
Large ponds are more likely to achieve a natural balance of plant life that will enable the fish to survive and flourish with the minimum of attention.

There were ponds of turtles, fish and ducks, surrounded by trees, plants and flowers and acres of large buildings with giant outdoor cages the size of basketball courts.
Ponds are lovely additions to flourishing landscapes and gardens, and live fish and vast arrast of water plants are available.
Both ponds at the golf course in Wilmington were completely covered with giant salvinia, and small patches of plants were present in a drainage ditch into which the lower pond flowed.

Lakes and ponds should not be allowed to become overgrown with reeds or other aquatic plants, nor should overhanging branches of trees be permitted totally to block out the sun.

Ponds need aquatic plants, fish, and water snails for ecological balance.
However, evaporation ponds are an attractive nuisance to birds that stop to feed on plants and animals found at the ponds.
Algae are a family of living plants that often invade ponds and fountains of all sizes.
