I am looking for any advice on what fish (if any) would suit my pond. I have never kept Pond fish before, though I have kept fancy goldfish for many years.
I have a ring-shaped pond with a central paved area, via a bridge. It it approximately 2,500l. It is a ≈ 60cm wide ring , ≈40cm deep and an outside diameter of 410cm.
It has a new Oase filtral 9000 filter/pump with an additional airline to add oxygen.
I am interested in the possibilities of adding some fish. It isn’t deep enough for goldfish, but I was wondering about either Rudd, or Sticklebacks.. or anything other suggestions?
It has previously suffered with Duckweed, though this is by and large under control (so anyone that helps keep this down is a bonus).
What species would suit this pond in this pond? Would you mix species? How many? Are there any other considerations/additions to the pond I should be thinking about.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
