Rectangle around 10 foot deep. it will be for cc and maybe Bg and maybe a few LMB. I was told that it Was best to dig it in a bowl shape for cc. Will this have any effect on other fish or can it be dug with sides steeper. Also what would the holding capacity of this pond if I feed.

Carrying capacity will depend on water quality, aeration, feeding, etc. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=92440#Post92440 www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
