Please post a introduction in the introduction thread. Provide as much information as possible. Will try and help, hopefully some folks from your area can help more on the fish choices.

right beside the log in button there is a small box, click on it and it will mark a check mark in the box, this should allow you to stay logged on.

From what I'm reading it appears the Golden Rudd or Golden orfes seem to be pretty hardy and not very expensive and stay a decent size. Your pond is plenty big enough but you don't want to get something that's going to get to big so you have room for other fish as you go along.. Wish I knew more about them, IMO, someting cheap that doesn't get to large and is very hardy would be my first choices. Looking at the list though really all seem to be ok for start up.

Your welcome,:lol: Now what is a roach? :lol:

this is a roach, often people get roach and rudd mixed up. they look similar. both are silver, but a rudd has an upturned mouth(they are surface feeders) and are often smaller/more slender. nice fish. you can also get golden breeds of rudd though.

roach and rudd often breed and creat hybrids, so it becomes hard to tell.

the silver fish in the first picture is the roach, the golden one is the rudd.
