I have an outdoor pond that I am considering adding pumpkinseed and maybe comet/shubunkin goldfish too. I love the look of the pumpkin seed. I have another pond that is exclusively goldfish right now. This new pond has no fish yet and I would like to branch out a bit. Do any of you keep pumpkinseed together with goldfish? And if so, how do they get along?
Anybody keep Pumpkinseed and Goldfish together?

i dont see why they wouldn't get along but why not go for a completely native pond especially since you already have a goldfish one there's lots of great fish out there like the missouri longear.
how big is the pond gallons and max depth? western dollar is another sunfish that would fit in
yellow bass are pretty cool imo and would work with sunfish
if you didn't do sunfish could do darters and shiners there small so harder to see in a pond but you could have a lot of them
depending on the pond size there's some others i could suggest

The new pond without any fish is 125 gallons at about 20 inches deep. The other I have (with Goldfish) is about 700 gallons (24 inch deep stock tank). I really like the look of the sunfish and yellow bass you posted. I think they would show up even if the water was a bit unclear.
yeah there pretty nice looking and very personable great place to get them from is here http://www.zimmermansfish.com/Price.html for yellow bass you will more then likely need to catch them if where you live allows that.
Thank you for the link.
What do you think of my pond size? I am thinking of keeping 3-4 fish. It will have plenty of plants and some driftwood for a hiding place and maybe a cave.
Checkout some of the fish for sale at "jonahs aquarium",and most sunfish do well with goldfish,u might also want to add yellowperch and adult golden weather loaches.
