We are on our second pond. Our first one was a small pre-formed pond and precast waterfall. It supported three goldfish and had great sound.
As of June 19, 2008, we have a wonderful liner pond in our backyard. It is approximately 8 x 16, with waterfall and bog filter. We seeded it with bacteria, and added ten small fish on Saturday, June 21, 2008. They all did well so we added nine more on June 28, 2008. And then Deborah brought us three goldfish from her aquarium on June 29th. The heron found the pond (or, rather, we discovered the heron eyeing the pond) on July 3, 2008.
