Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Adding Small Auxiliary Pool

The rocks would work, but I don't think the smaller fish would navigate thru the rocks to find the pool. You could place some in there tho!

If you were doing the work over a weekend, then I think the smaller one might work. Make sure that the small one will pick up high enough (and hold the dirt in the bucket) to clear the dump bed sides.

If I had a choice on bucket size, I'd go with the largest one that the machine can use and still pick up at full extension.
