This page contains information about ponds and good fish for ponds. You can read about how to start a pond, picking a good place for a pond, good fish for ponds, and how to care for your fish. There are many choices. The pond can be made of plastic, or half of an old wooden barrel with a plastic liner, or a concrete pond with or without an epoxy or tile coating. Some pond keepers put dirt in the bottom of their plastic or concrete ponds to make their ponds more organic.
Ponds also vary greatly in size from a few gallons to many thousands of gallons.
Lets suppose that you have a plastic pond holding 40 or 50 gallons of water, or maybe half a wooden barrel with a plastic liner like the one shown above. Ponds like this can be bought in the spring at local Pet Stores, at Wal-Mart, and at Home Depot. Click here for more details about my barrel pond. To the Top of this Page. How to Start a Pond.
