The back yard pond (about 4500 gallons) has about a dozen Koi of various sizes (largest about 12-14" (30-36cm)) and a bunch of cheap goldfish that I'm still trying to get rid of. A 'friend' put them in there as a welcoming gift after we finished building the pond four years ago. -- G.D.Smith Harpers Ferry, WV FOR SALE: 2003 Swee****er 22' Pontoon Boat http://icanhelp56.homestead.com/gs_pontoon01.html FOR SALE: 1999 Fleetwood Mallard 37' Travel Trailer http://icanhelp56.homestead.com/Mallard001.html |
Matt,
Most people around my area who are serious ponders keeping only KOI and/or Goldfish and then some also have Orfes. Others who have ponds, just to have a pond, may also have Blue Gills, various kinds of Catfish (Blues, I have heard, are the best, but they are now protected fish) and minnows and sometimes Bass. If you keep the natives though your KOI and Goldfish must be good size because the others will eat them. I live in North Central Oklahoma. Personally, I only keep Ornamental Goldfish.
