Sure you could have fish in there. Maybe a small school of minnows would be nice. Would be a way to keep the skeeters away. I've never had minnows so don't know which ones are best for your situation.

Very cute!

Red rosies (fathead minnows) are native to the United States and make a great pond fish. Mine did very well in a small preformed pond once. Plus, they can be very cute and fun to watch. They can be difficult to tell a part, but sometimes you'll get one that has a big spot on its back, or some other distinguishing feature and you start to find yourself looking for that little guy in particular!

Well, that's how it is for me, anyway. ;)
