I don't know enough about mesquites root system to respond on them.
Fifty miles S. of San Antone is dry country. I would make it as deep as I could dig. Water can get real hard to come by in that area. If I could get some 16 to 20 ft. area, I would.
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.

mesquite dont use much water, and i'll give you a SWAG that they wont be an issue provided that they are not actually on the dam. how big are they? will they hang out over the water? they might contribute some organic matter to pond, but not as much as most trees, and they might provide shade and some (insect) forage for fish.
