Default New Ponds

I was trying to find a website that mentioned what they were called,
but I guess they aren't as popular as I thought.

The goldfish are a good way to start the nitrogen cycle. I think there
are other ways though... (water from an established pond?)
I have also read somewhere about putting barley in the pond.

==================
Barley is supposed to control algae from what I understand, not start the N
cycle.
