Hey guys! I am getting a 540 gallon pond set up for my 6 inch red eared slider. I was wondering, what kind of fish can I put in with him? I thought about peacock bass, but I don't know.. any suggestions? Thanks guys!!

Def not peacock bass then. Maybe sunnies, crappie, some channel or bullhead catfish?

You can throw two largemouth bass and a mess of bluegill to feed to the turtle and bass. Stock the bluegill first then the turtle and then the bass

Ya but the width is a bit tight as koi can get like 4'. The op could even do the stocking mentioned above and add a koi or two maybe. The forage fish will be eaten off more than likely leaving space for the koi. You could even do the two bass, about 20 bluegill or more and possibly 4 comet goldfish as they are like koi but smaller

I'm gonna say a 4' Koi is like a 18'' Oscar. They don't exist. Koi do get large, but they will not get bigger than around 30''.
The pond the OP is building is 3' deep x 3' wide x 8' long.
