It needs to be atleast 2 ft deep if you want to keep the fish in the cold weather however i would suggest going much deeper to be on the safe size, a small pond can have steep sides to dig to about 3 ft and there will be no problems with the fish in cold weather, other than that it is not important how deep the pond is, as long as they can swim freely.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on where the fish pond will be. It can technically be as deep as you want or as shallow as you want. I would suggest you make it at least 1/2 foot deep. If the fish in this pond are to survive the ice and snow of winter, the pond should be much deeper so the fish don't die of the cold/get frozen in the ice. The circumstances will effect how deep you should make your fishpond.

Where is a good place to put a large goldfish?
How large is large? Ideally they need either wide and long tanks, or a large established pond. The general rule is Fancy Goldfish need a minimum of 20 US gallons each, Common/Comet type Goldfish need 55 US gallons each, as they get larger and tend to be more active and capable swimmers. Their tank should be very well filtered too! For a pond it needs to be filtered and over 600 US gallons, a minimum of 3ft deep at the deepest point.
