1150 gal

[Dudzy]

I've just started to build my new pond, it's 1150 gallons and should be done with in a week.

The only fish I've kept in my older pond (300 gallon) were large comets and tilapia.

What do yous reckon would be a good fish to keep?

Expensive pondfish suggestions if the AUS in Dudzy's location is for Australia. Whereabouts you located? Big difference between what you can keep year round in a pond in say, Darwin compared to Melbourne.

I live in Brisbane so I'm just wondering what could live in there all year round.
If it gets too cold I've always got my tank.

If you have the tank option you're really only limited by what you can fit in the tank during winter. Last winter everything in my pond (6x3x2 above ground) died. Snails, shrimps, the works. A few platies have already dropped this year. I only use my pond to breed feeders and growout plants. If you are inground and deep you might be alright. If the tilapia have made it through winter before maybe try some other cichlids?

Cheers mate.
Yeah the Tilapia have survived winter before so I guess I could have a look at some nice Cichlids.
