When your thinking about pond fish it's always best to know 
what type/breed of fish your thinking about getting B-4 you 
get them, Cause there is a lot to choose from, so think wise.

I have raised a lot of fish over the yrs & have learned a lot 
with all the fish I have raised, & not just fish I have learned 
about but ponds as well, & that's where it all starts at.

When you start thinking about fish you have to think about 
their environment 1st, where they started from & how to 
make their pond area the same as their environment. 👍

This means to do all the research you can on what breed 
your going to put in your pond, & B-4 getting your fish 
you want to make it safe from other animals that kill fish.

Coons, cats, birds, insects,  & weather, winter & summer 
the pond has to be safe from freezing in the winter, so that 
means it has to have a submerged heater (with A air pump).

When it comes to winter if you wrap the pond in thick 
tarps it will keep most the cold air off the pond where it
won't freeze as bad or as thick, where it melts faster.

Summer heat will cause algae & hot water & neither 1 is 
good for the fish, So a good shade cloth is a good way to
keep the pond cool & algae free & the fish happy & healthy.

To put a shade cloth over the pond, the best way is to use 
2 inch-thick wall PVC pipe frame as big as the pond is 
where you can put vinyl lattice on top or heavy duty wire.

The pvc pipe frame will be strong enough to hold the 
weight of the snow & the shade cloth will let the snow 
melt in the pond to give it fresh water as well as rain.

Plant's are good for breeding, but if your going to have 
plant's they need to be big enough & deep to keep them 
from being ripped out & destroyed by being eaten.

You Could use "fake plants" that's clued to the floor of the 
pond so they have a place to breed & a place for the fry 
to hide in & put some gulf ball size rocks to hide under.

This all may sound like a lot of work but really it's not if 
you think ahead of time to do what needs to be done B-4 
getting your fish it will all be easy to just set it up & done.

I have a 8 ft round pond & have done everything you 
have read here & it has kept my goldfish happy & healthy 
where they spawn fry every year, that's a happy pond.

But that's not the only things I've done with my pond to 
make it healthy, I have made a 100 gal stock tank bog
tank that filters the pond to keep the pond healthy.

stock tank bog filter < this is what makes ponds healthy.
How to Make a Bog Filter < This explains the DIY way. 

So with all that said & explained I hope this helps you 
to get all you need to learn & get you started to a easy 
simple happy healthy pond to enjoy every year. 👍

I'll leave you this video to learn about a favorite fish 
that is most enjoying to raise & sell if you get too
