An odd stance when cities everywhere are tryin to promote more
greenspace. And, the most city-like city, New York has Central
park in the midle of it just to remind people what grass,
trees and other flora and fora are. Are you sure you're in the
right newsgroup? Alt.pave.the.earth is that way ------

I presumed a pond in a city is to have your own little piece
of greenspace. No?

Hey, I didn't say city folk can't have their own slice of nature - but if
you can't stand nature, it's certainly possible to avoid it in most cities.

===============
When I lived in NYC ponds weren't as popular as they are now but some people
did have them. They always had goldfish in them and were made of cement -
no rubber liners at the time. The ponds were also much smaller than people
have now. I'm guessing no more than 300 to 500g. I don't recall ever
seeing a filter although in-pond sprinklers or spitting fountains were
popular. Maybe the filters were under the sprinklers/spitters. One good
thing about a city pond would be no fish eating herons, frogs, snakes and
snapper turtles. No one wants to lose their favorite GF or koi.

Modulo pigeons, flies, sparrows and more. Don't be daft.
