I have 3 goldfish that would go in the pond and I would also like a few
plants.
I also wonder how deep I would need to make the liner pond in zone 5 for
over
wintering the fish and plants? Would two feet be sufficient?

I live in southern Michigan purportedly in zone 5, and my pond is 3 feet
deep at the deep end. The first year I lost all my fish as the pond froze
solid. I take my fish inside now in very late October and have done so for
15 years. This also gives me the opportunity to clean out the pond, etc. I
also take my tropical plants in at that time, and sink the hardys to the
bottom. They survive just fine.
