One other thing to be weary of in pond situations is leaches. Young leaches look like a tiny black spot or speck that will be there one moment and gone the next. If they get on a fish or any other living thing, it's as good as dead. If what she sold you has that many unidentified creatures in it, there is no telling what else is there. May even Dragon Fly Nymphs and you sure don't need them.
