New small pond with 2 waterfalls - pump and other questions

Looks great! 'feeder' goldfish are a great choice for your pond! When I put in my pond, I put 5 feeders in there. They are about 8" long now except for one and doing great! When I bought them, they were all orange little guys. 3 stayed orange, 1 turned white, and 1 is half orange half white.

This is the smallest one.

Goldfish look good too!

Hi,
I have several and use them all over my ponds, tanks and even to water plants with water changes. I realy like the idea that they have a built in bio filter and can be easily disassembled to clean out. it comes with all kinds of attachments as well. i added the flex hose that Home Depot sells. I would not be without it. I even toss it in my pond during heavy rains to keep the pond from overflowing. Recently, i used it to cycle water through a milk crate filled with batting to clear my water after the spawn.

To get your lil feeder fish to grow like that, do you feed them?

they will feed on alge or whatever they can in the pond but feeding definately helps speed things up!! this time next year your feeders should be 5"+
