I have a about a 15 foot diameter in ground pond in the backyard.
It has a breeding population of goldfish that have over the years lost their color and evolved to black over a gold undercoat, which I like.
I clean out plants (Elodea or something similar) a couple times a year. I figure it acts like a turf scrubber.

I don't feed the fish. They eat what falls in or is growing there.


I have just gotten a Moina tub started outside and should have vast amounts of Moina available soon.

I hope to start digging my new goldfish pond in a month or so.  I will work only before the sun comes up over our fence and after it goes down past the fence in evening.  Hope to make it about 500 gal. and at least 2' deep.  Pond liner and rocks around., with small waterfall.  Have at least one ton of rocks I moved here.
