Number of Fish in a Pond
Got a small pond, actually a holding tank with some timber cladding. 1.6m by 1.0m by 60cm deep. So only about 1000 litres. With a continuous running fountain / UV / filter - one of those Hoselock Easyclear 3000 All-In-One things.
Two fish from the old pond went in, bog standard goldfish about 10cm long. They're now best part of twice that and live with 4 10cm offspring.
Until the other day that's what we thought anyhow - now there are suddenly visible a lot (double figures) of babies in there. Some of them a good 5cm in length.
So the simple question is how many fish are too many for the pond? Or should I just not worry as long as they are all active and interested in eating.
Had a good search on the Net. There appears to be as many answers as there are websites that match the search.
