New Pool Pond!

[Dennis Kraemer]

Hey I just moved to a new house down in Florida and i love right on the intercostals. I am getting an above ground pool that is 1,800 gallons(https://www.amazon.com/Bestway-Stee...gle+pool&qid=1535845757&sr=8-4&ref=mp_s_a_1_4) I could either pump brackish water from the intercoastal into the pond or do freshwater. Need stocking help and filter ideas!!!

Too bad you can't get any rays.

Well I doubt there are very many actual catfish in saltwater so... freshwater.

Brackish:
Go with:
Pompano
Lionfish
Mono
Scats
Orange chromides
Mollies
Swordspine snook
Black drum
Alewife
Jewel cichlids
Tilapia
Mayans
Weakfish
Mosquitofish
Blacktip shark catfish schools
Silver tip shark catfish
Dragon/violet gobies
Green crabs
Blue devil damsels
Prawns
Hogchokers

Or alternatively go with saltwater and get a small shark. Not a black tip reef shark, no, too big. Like a horn shark, my personal favorite <3.

im not sure all of those are compatible/ kind of hoping for some big fish not a bunch of small fish

Red tail catfish are big and can eat a small baby if big enough.
