Well I just discovered that the holding wall next to our garage can support a pond so I finally found a spot to out a large pond (in volume it would be roughly 1,200 gallons I believe). The other spot I was going to out one would have only been about 800 gallons or so. Got the ok from my parents to build the pond there so if all things stay the same I'll be setting it up next spring. I don't want to get to far into details such as filtration, aeration, etc until I actually begin building it and know exactly where and where I don't have room for things but I'd like to get an idea as far as stock what I could possibly do.
Some fish I'm interested in are: Koi, Common Carp, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Channel Catfish, several species of native suckers, and Shad as far as Coolwater fish go.
As far as tropical fish: Arowanas, Peacock Bass, Larger Plecos, and just about any larger catfish from anywhere in the world (I know I'd have to take any of the tropicals in when the water gets cold)
While I like all those fish I know I can't have them all in a pond that size and they can't all go together so what would be some possible combinations I could do?
