In the case of fish in a pond, completely submerged plants are helpful in that they add oxygen to the water and offer a food source. They also add oxygen to the air surrounding the pond for lunged animals that live there.
No, Cabomba is a partially-submerged plant. It is rooted in soil at the bottom of the pond with its leaves, flowers, fruits on or above the surface of the water.

The temperature of a pond can be measured using a thermometer specifically designed for aquatic environments. This thermometer can be submerged into the pond water to provide an accurate reading of the temperature. Alternatively, electronic devices such as temperature probes or data loggers may also be used to monitor the temperature of a pond over time.
Yes, Cabomba is a totally submerged plant commonly found in aquatic environments like ponds and aquariums. It has delicate, feather-like leaves that provide shelter for fish and other aquatic creatures.
Yes, a pond weed is adapted to live in a school pond. But pond weeds occupy certain positions that must be respected for the transplant to survive. For example, water milfoil (Myrophyllum spp), water fern (Azolla spp), waterlilies, and cattails (Typha spp) serve as respectively submerged, floating, emergent, and marginal plants.
Pond vegetation refers to the plants that grow in or around a pond. These can include emergent plants (such as cattails and rushes), floating plants (like water lilies), and submerged plants (such as pondweeds). Pond vegetation is important for the ecosystem, providing habitat for wildlife, oxygenating the water, and helping to control algae growth.
Place the container the fish is in in the pond and using a thermometer allow the temperatures to equalise. Failing that, have the fish in a bucket half filled with their original water and add 1 cupfull of water from the pond into the bucket each 5-10 minutes. Once things have equalised lower the bucket of fish into the pond gently and once the bucket is submerged tip it so the fish will swim out.
