I actually don't have a pond yet at this time, it's still in the planning stages right now.
I'm thinking maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 gallons, although I may have to make it bigger, depending on fish space requirements.
Well, here's a tenative list of fish I would like to eventually include in the pond.
About 3 or 4 each Shubunkin and/or Comet goldfish.
Probably 10 or 15 Rosy Red minnows
3 males and 7 females of the Latipinna species of Sailfin Molly,
which is native to my area.
A Golden weather loach.
2 pairs of orangespotted sunfish or longear sunfish after the others have grown too big to be eaten
(This site has pics of the male and female of both species)

I should probably post some of this stuff in another section.
