The pond best suited for dragonfiles is the shallow pond.

Explanation:

Shallow ponds for dragonflies should contain underwater habitat where nymphs can find their food and also escape from predators; water plants where they can crawl out out of the water to transform into young adults, and perching posts where these developed adults can perch and scan for food or mates. They also require an avenue for basking in the sun. Dragonfly ponds should be void of ducks and goldfish and frogs as these are nymph predators.
