We love the pond too. I built it in the center of our patio. It's a blessing to watch the fish swimming around. We can see it through our glass door from our lazy boy recliner. We hand feed the fish a little twice a day, but the plants are growing so they will also be a good food source. In the summer here in Florida the water temp is 80-90deg because it is on a shaded patio. The one inch goldfish we got are now four inches. Will need a heater in winter to keep the tropical fish alive. We are experimenting with a 55 gallon drum to transfer rain water from the roof gutters into the pond. Also use the drums to settle-out the chlorine from the tap water for a day or two.
