Hi

In the latter stages of a new pond - 1500 gal's - in the UK. Anyone had any
experience with stocking a couple of Barbel?

Pond will be well filtered & aired - I'm just concerned about the lack of
"running" water for the fish

Might provide some insight - from a quick read through it seems the
answer is that keeping barbel in still water is bad for their health.
