I keep adding a few tropical fish. My small pond still looks empty, and the water is still crystal clear.
But I have about 25 sq. ft. of surface and 260 gallons of water. By pond calculations, that's 25 inches of fish. By aquarium standards, it's capacity for around 200 inches of fish. I assume I'm at 100 fish-inches at full size... about 15 tropical fish between 3" and 4" at full size, and 5 gold fish (that will growth to between 8" and 10"). I have bog filtration plus a commercial filter rated for 1600 gallons (or 400 gallons of Koi).
I have 5 Silver Mollys, 4 Rainbow fish, 5 Swordtail, a bunch of snails, a bunch of plants (about 15 aquarium plants in pond soil, 2 lillies) plus another 15 marginals in the bogs.
I think I'm okay, but I might need an FA meeting to stop. I almost bought two more goldfish when getting the mollies, but I think I might be over gold fished.
