I have been reading posts from this sight for some time and have found them to be very helpful and informative. So thanks to everyone for giving me such great insight to the hobby.
I have kept tropical fish for most of my life, but have only just recently had a pond.
The pond is small by most standards, just about 200 gallons. It is above ground made of treated lumber with a liner. It has a good size biological filter and a smaller mechanical filter.
I have 4 comet goldfish and 1 shubumkin currently. They are doing well and just starting to eat as the water is still cold, about 40-45 degrees.
My current focus is plants. I would like to have a small water lily, bog plants as well as submerged plants. I have had to wait on the plants do to our cold winters in Washington state.
