Answer 3

This depends on what kind of pond you want and where you want to put it. If you live someplace where it's cold, and particularly someplace where lakes freeze over in winter, you need to stock cold tolerant fishes, and the pond needs to be deep enough to allow those fish to survive during the frost. Also, is the pond for ornamental purposes or fishing? Koi and other more attractive fishes would be preferred in an ornamental pond. If it's just a fishing pond, you might stock trout, bass, or catfish. Whatever you choose, be sure you do not release any fish into the wild, especially if they are not native to your area. Even native fishes in your pond may have diseases that are not natural to wild fish populations in your area, so it is best not to release any of your pond fish into the wild.
