Okay. My dad has had this pond for a long time, is was a junky pond sucked like crap. He emtied the water, re lined the pond and made it biger. It is now an avg. 50,000 gallons of water. Im not allowed to post pictures on here.... sorry all, but when and If we get fish, I will post fish pics.
I was thinking koi... but there is a significant amount of hawks and other wild animals out there because he lives kinda on a farm.
I was thinking some 30 some koi would be good right? cause then we arent stocking the pond completely full, and it has room for babies... which I will probably end up housing inside while they grow.
There are no plants because of the liner.... should I put some in? I was thinking for hidey spots....
now as for a filter.... my dad is tank/ pond illiterate.
It has one pump that shoots air up.... and thats it. A filter for this big of a pond... would be rediculous.... but im willing to try it. as well as some sort of heater cause up here in canada, it freezes alot. The pond is 4" deep for sure.... I know know the other dimensons.... help anyone? suggestions?
I would love some butterfly koi or something of the sort!
