Stocking Ideas for 785g pond?

[addictinganimal]

I'm going to be building a 7x5x3ft pond on my patio and need some stocking suggestions. I'm going to buy a heater for it, so they can survive our harsh Florida winters.

Any suggestions are welcome!

PS--I'm partial to catfish.

Koi pond, no need for a heater?
Sturgeon?

 

[bigfishrcool1193]

tropical pond, koi pond, or more native pond?

which one would you rather do/try?

Archer fish

Well, I'm getting the heater, so I figured tropical. Either way would be good though.

Line the pond with plants and get archer fish... woudl be sweet to see them shoot flies with water blasts...

Tig, Lima, Jurense cats will work. Stay away from TSN or RTC unless this pond is a growout.

Oooh, I like them all! The only one I've seen in my LFS is the lima though... which is still good, I like them! Very neat catfish. I'll have to check them out.
