Have you got a big pond? Can they stay small because of pond size and still live a good life

 

[sissy]

I have 5000 gallons and no they grow and grow no matter the size of the pond .

Ponding can be exciting, but also heartbreaking if not done correct. Take you're time, a few minutes reading articles here will help minimize poor results and disappointments. I too started keeping fish in an aquarium, I enjoyed it but seemed never satisfied, always wanted more, more plants, more fish, more water! Seems the pond has satisfied my itch. You too will enjoy ponding.
