| 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. | |
