Wow, that seems a small pond (220 gallons) for fish over 6 inches....

4 goldfish, even of that size, should do fine in that many gallons (imo).
All standard water quality comments apply, of course. Shouldn't be a
problem with the amount of plants the plan is calling for, except it will
reduce the gallonage. ;o) ~ jan

Jan, if you have Pennywort (Thai call "bua bok") in your garden, dig some
out, rinse off the dirt and drop them in your pond. They thrive, but not
rank, they're a good hiding place for fry and they taste good in salads!
