Default New pond residents question...

What temperature do you think the pond will have? If it is very much new
spring water, enough for a waterfall, and you are in the mountains with
trout farms around, I think the water may be too cold for koi and gold

fish.
They need to have a minimum of 50 degrees and even better 60 degrees for
their immune system to function. If it is going to be colder than that,
then I would look for a cold water fish.

Kinda hard to tell. By waterfall, I meant a small one. The springs all (3)
told probably supply about 5-10 gal a minute. The watershed from rain though
can REALLY increase that almost 10 fold. I might just let things sit a
season, ans see how the whole year plays out. Adding fish is a minor
concern, with all the other house setting and moving work to do.

We just heard last night the house will be off the line by the end of this
week, and on the lot ready to be deleivered this Mon.!

Woo Woo!!
