Good evening,
This is James Bond, from the greater Houston (Magnolia, TX) area.
I have a family residence with some land, maybe 8 or so acres where my some of my family members reside.
We want to dig a pond, just big enough to keep some freshwater fish, and maybe some (nishikigoi) Koi fish?
Our original thought was to dig a pond 15 feet in diameter and about 5ft deep but I was told, by the folk who referred me to this site, that such dimensions (15ft by 5ft) would be too small for any type of freshwater fish.
So my question is, what is the smallest pond size that can support some freshwater fish in South East Texas (Houston, TX) area?
We primarily want this pond for some aesthetics and some fish, nothing commercial or for fishing etc, just for family viewing pleasure and catch the odd fish now and then.
What do you folks suggest please?
Cheers,
James
