ML a very good point. Peoples' goals/objectives can change over time and often do. That is why it is so important to learn as much as possible about all aspects of ponds including biology and systems and the different fish one might use. Then as goals change it is easier to transition from one set to another. Planning ahead for this is a real plus down the road.
