Bill has advised me on my 1/4 acre pond (which mirrors yours in size and depth) from the first yr. Whoever comes and fishes say they can't believe the #s and size of fish in that small of a pond. It's surprising how many nice fish a small bow can produce if the fish are fed and the quality of water is kept good. I think aeration is absolutely necessary. Well worth the investment. Always heed Cody's advice.
Fish farms are in business to sell fish, the more the better. This forum is in existance to provide sound and free advice to fellow pond owners. Good luck.
