I talked to my husband about the size of the pond, Thor. Since he already has the semi-circle built, and just needs the inside covering on so it will hold water; the one he is building out front will have to stay the size it is, and either have only a couple of the little goldfish in it, or maybe just be a splashy fountain and not have fish at all.
He said that there is plenty of room out in the back yard to make a larger pond out there that could actually hold the fish better; so we might end up having to do that instead.
Regardless, it is not going to happen until next spring/summer; so I will have a better idea of what we can do by then.
I didn't realise that a goldfish would need so much water ! I remember having one when I was a kid, and we just had it in one of those little oval goldfish bowls. We had to take it out pretty often and change the water because it got dirty fast; but the fish seemed to do ok as long as we did that.
