Ah k. Hmm, seems like i'll have to have a think about this...seeing
that making the pond was hard work haha but if it's necessary. Though,
50 cm is 1.6 ft (1'7''?? dunno how things work over there haha). Would
that make a difference? Or is deeper/more area still better?

Deeper is better in places that get hot (or cold, though a heater can
negate that). A patio umbrella may be necessary on those really hot days.

As far as filter, that is all dependent on # of fish. Personally I'd take
the comets back and get fantails. They produce fewer offspring.... and
they're really easy to catch if there becomes too many. ~ jan
