It depends on a few things. The biggest is what kind? If all you were doing is goldfish you could get away with a lot more than if they were koi. Your filtration is also a big factor as well. You also have to remember that they will grow. I'm sure you are going to get lots of replies with formulas of a fish to so many gallons of water. I would start with a conservative amount and let them get established and keep testing your water as you add more.
I have about the same size pond 4 x 7 1.5 feet deep. I have 6 goldfish one large the other smaller in size and they are doing very well. I had to junk my small box filter that did not work at all and put in a large 30 gal diy filter with a powerful 500 gph pump to get this way. Also I water change every 7 days which is the real reason my pond is working. RDK
