Donna D asked:


There is about a 1/4 inch of clay in the bottom and on the marginal shelves of my 300 gallon pond. I have not added fish or plants yet. The water is already murky but has only been in the pond for 3 days. Should I empty and refill before proceeding with living things or just let it sit for a few more days first?

Weird question, and I’ll probably get an earful from animal rights people, but I don’t want frogs in my pond, with my fish. What can be done to keep them out?

And how much would it cost including all the equipments/materials? I want to build a garden fish pond with a small water fountain in my front yard. I have lots of space to built it. I also want to add some plants and fish in it. But want to make sure the fish wont get eaten by the birds.

thanks for your help. =]

How small can the pond be so that the brim and bass survive. I dont want to put alot of fish in it, but i want something I can just take a fishing rod out back and catch some small stuff. Also, do I have to feed them, or is there a plant I can put in the pond to keep them alive.

I want to build a 5000 gallon pond using cement, but I am kind of having trouble finding resources on how to do this.

I would like to know how to install an externail pump, and how do I do the drain???

How do I put the plumbing in? Would this be buildt pretty similar to a pool?

What has to be done to the cement to make it safe for fish?

Would making it out of cement be cheaper than liner?

There are no rocks in FL, so we are going to have a company come out and “make” the rocks for us. They do a FABULOUS job sculpting rocks from rebar and cement. I would have to have a cement pool in order to have them do this, though. So that is why it needs to be out of cement.

If you can find ANY resources for me on how to do any of this, Id be eternally greatful! Im so excited to get my pond going!!!!
I HAVE given this thought, but I cant seem to find many resources on it. That is why Im asking for help. I have wanted to have a pond like this for the last two years.

I wasnt asking for everyone to write me an article, but rather to point me in the right direction of some information because I was having trouble finding it. Thank you so much to everyone who gave me links. I will check those out today and pick a best answer. Thanks again!

I have a fish pond in my back yard. With four (used to be five) big fish. There is a pelican that lives around my house that has killed one fish that I know of. How with out killing the bird can I protect my fish? I have a net over it but this is not visually pleasing, are there methods or devices made for this problem?

Pondowner asked:


We moved into the house over the winter and the fish pond was semi drained, not covered & did not have any fish. As I don’t have the time to maintain an active fish pond, I would like to turn it into some type of decorative water feature. Any ideas?
