Hi,
My family might be starting small pond in our back yard, about 40ft perimeter. We already know where we're getting the air pump for it. I have a couple of questions. Do you need a filter for a pond? Since were probably getting coldwater fish for it I'm wondering what kind of fish can go in it, and which would be in the shallowest water for hibernation. I know goldfish need like 3 feet deep for hibernation when the ice freezes over, but it seems that it would be extremely hard to dig a 3 ft hole. Any help would be appreciated.
