With that size you're going to need to brace at regular intervals with either 2x4's or 2x6's (probably 2x4's should be fine). You'll want to use at least 3/4 hardwood plywood. For extra strength, you could double it up, but with proper exterior bracing, that shouldn't bee necessary.
This is going to be a tarp pond, im planning to put some kois on it or arowanas. About the tarp size what should be the thickness of the tarp?
Definitely use screws.
As far as "tarp", I would try to find actual rubber pond liner. They generally come in 20mil and 45mil thicknesses. Thicker is better. If the pond is going to be outside exposed to sunlight, then you'll want to go with a thicker UV resistant liner. Firestone EPDM 45mil liner is pretty much the standard for fish ponds.
