Ok, since ive got 4 aquariums and im working on finding the decor I want for my CITY OF FISH THEME aquarium, we have also decided that we want a pond. How fun! So reasearching ponds and trying to get the basics down, I just built a small retaining wall that seems really good for the pond. Any suggestions?

If you want to keep fish in it year round stick to goldfish. They can take the cold with just a small heater and take the heat if some shade is provided. Easy to keep and grow rapidly in ponds. Good Luck!

NOt sure on the size, we are still debating if we are just going to use a liner for the pond or actually buy 1 of those shell thingys.

OK so picked up 2 ponds yesterday, so excited. Altho I have no clue how many gallons they are, my mom took the smaller one and I took the bigger one. Got them on CL $35 for both. I thought it was a great deal since smaller ones at Lowes are $50 and $70. Ill take a pic of mine and post it up. Now I gotta figure out what all I need for it. What are the basics in order to put fish in it.
