first, let the pond go green and water warm up.
this is a 250 gallon pond, so it is big enough for a few goldfish. if you have
winter where you live how are you going to keep the pond from freezing?
it is best to buy a few, wait, buy a few more. GF dont fight, but you are correct,
they do spread infections. see here for how to buy GF.

I've had a new pond that I've put in about 2 weeks now and it's about
time to put some fishes in it.

It's a 1000 litre item, 2 1/2 foot deep with a decent enough pump and
filter (and uv bit).

I'm probably going to just put goldfish in it, something hardy, but
I've had various suggestions.

Should I go out and buy a job lot of 10 - 12 all in one go.

or buy 5 - 6 wait a couple of weeks then add another 6.


Guessing fors and against for each.
For buying a job lot, they might not fight as much, but if one has an
infection, they'll all get it.
thanks in advance
