Thank u cat wait to get fish in it but not sure how many and what kind lol
Don't add the fish too soon as the water will need to cycle and don't add but a couple when you do so the pond can continue cycling even more. I'd get Shubunkins or those fat wiggly butt ones.

Your pond is too small for koi. They grow to 3 feet! They will not stay small in a small pond. No way!

Shubunkins are just goldfish but different in their coloring/patterns. They are the same in size as regular goldfish.

Fantails, what I call Butt Wigglers,lol! They come in all kinds of colors.
