Hey hey out there, I don’t have a pond obviously, but one of my neighbors does. He has told me about it before. He “only” has koi in there, but he has to always be trimming the plants, replacing the gravel, and that sort of thing. It’s kind of like having a garden underwater, so you have to take care of every little thing. I hope my answer helped you out. Good luck.

Hey Rudy it’s me again!! I just talked to my neighbor, and he says you should start off with like a 10 gallon aquarium. That’s pretty small, but you’ll get an idea of what it’s like and you won’t have too much to do. If you want to know more I can send you an email with his cell number.
