The wife bought a small goldfish at the weekend and put it into our

If thats its main purpose it not a good idea to put fish in it at all.


i described it as a large water feature as most people who hear the word
pond think of something large. this "pond" is about 1m X 1/2m & 800mm
deep.

Do you mean you intended it more as a drinking trough for birds than a
breeding site for amphibians? Neither of these uses seem particularly
compatible with the presence of a goldfish though.
