You'll want to keep in mind how small the pond is when stocking. I wouldnt suggest more than a 3-4 fancy goldfish in that size (approx 60 USG). ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

For an ornamental pond the biggest risk woudl be for them to wash out onto your yard. If you're going with gold fish keep in mind fancies only as they're smaller than feeder/common goldfish, and remember that they need 10-20 gallons each as a minimum in ponds your size or larger when full grown. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

And I'm worried that I'll stunt his growth and the only bigger tank I have is a 15 long. Should I set this tank up for him or will he get bigger cause I don't have the money to buy any bigger tanks. Thanks, ABF
