The pictures did not show up for me even when I deleated the pre and post img from the last picture.

A pond just 2ft to 3ft deep will always be a probematic pond. Be prepared. Shallow water grows lots of plants. It is not all bad. Koi and over populated gold fish can root and disrupt bottom sediments thus causing turbid water, limiting light penetration and helping to reduce some plant growth. Goldfish will tend to overpopulate similar to bluegill. Once goldfish become abundant the present fish will eat quite a few of their own eggs thus helping in their own population control.
