Because this mini pond will not have a dock, one thought I had involved using two sets of stacked pallets (coupled together) in conjunction with the cages. The stacked pallets will serve as nesting sites for the minnows with the added bonus of being an anchor point for the cages. Placing the pallet stacks close enough to shore, with the top pallets above the waterline, I was hoping to use a gangplank to access the cages for feeding and maintenance. With this setup either type cage, cylindrical or square, should work. In anycase, more food for thought.
