My one-year-old pond is doing well

My 16-x-24-foot pond is home to 17 goldfish and dozens of their offspring. I began building the pond last summer; it replaced an above-ground pool which had been on the same site. I'm learning as I go.

That's cool. What is the max depth? How do you manage it over the Winter?

Maximum depth is about four feet; majority of pond is just over one foot deep. I used a heater to keep a hole open over the deep part last winter. One goldfish died, and my one koi disappeared! I suspect one of the two large (and dead) bullfrogs I found in the pond this spring ate it.

Very nice! Jealous! Love all the rocks, and especially the way you're using them around your plant pots.

Here's a few photos I took tonight. What I believe is a katydid was lounging on a lily pad.
