Gold Fish In A large Nature Pond

[Curious_George]

Hi

I've just built a large nature pond in my garden
3500 litres, max depth 80 cm
I don't plan on putting any filtration on the pond.
There are lots planting shelves are various depths which i plan to fill over time

Would it be ok to put a few goldfish into the pond?
I'm thinking around 4 or 5?
If yes can i add them fairly early on or should i wait until the pond matures a bit?

i'd let the pond age a good while before i added fish let mother nature getestablished before you add predators

Agree, but some type of aeration (fountain, bubbler..) is a good idea, if you can manage it.
