It posts but I don't know what the acronyms mean. In general, shoot for about 60/40 clay/soil. It can vary though. Silt, rocks, sand, gravel should be avoided.

Admittedly, loam is partial sand but is a good mix with the
clay.

Pure clay cracks when it dries.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
