hi guys i have a salt water pond behind my house its a natural pond that was here when we moved into my house. well anyways i have red fish,speckled trout,white trout drum and diffrent types of baitfish. and
me and my frend was tlkn nd he said u got everything except sharks.

the pond is huge about 10 ft deep is the biggest area majority of the pond is about 5ft deep with a 2ft pool where the baitfish usually stay we have a big fountain in it. its also stocked with saltwater inverts shrimp,crabs etc.

so i want about three sharks size does not matter but the big ques is what type of shark can go in here?
 
What's the footprint of the pond? Any filtration?

This in no way answers the question.
 
a fountain that runs 4 hrs a day doesnt seem like even enough airiation to me, but sounds interesting so take some pics for us
 
Water depth isn't really the issue, here.

If you want to know what kind of sharks you could keep in this saltwater pond - then we need to know it's dimensions or it's foot print. Also what kind of filtration does it have. Sharks tend to messy feeders, and usually have a large bioload for their size.

The dimensions are going to basically dictate what species you might be able to keep.
 
I would guess the main issues will be oxygen levels and whether or not it's connected to any other water ways, meaning you can't add non-native animals due to possible escape into the wild.

Another thing to consider is that adding a captive shark to an outdoor set up is more or less releasing any zoonatic diseases into the wild that it may have.
