    I am building a small triangular pond 5 or 6ft long, 3ft wide. It is in a shady position, getting little sun. It is going to have a fountain, so that will aid areation if that makes any difference. What plants would like this position?

    Thanks

    Sorry i don't know, which you do want, but you don't want Lilies, they do not like moving water (you mentioned fountain)

    I would also suggest that unless you are having fish, in which case it will need filtration too, you need not have a fountain, and then you can have lilies, and lots of them.
