Breathless Mahoney asked:


Me and my family want to build a pond in our backyard(REALLY BIG) and I was wondering what kind of animals can I put in it? I also want to put in a shark but a small one. What kind of sharks don’t grow bigger than a foot?

    I have a backyard pond. Ofcourse I have fish ( Kois, Fantails, snails,etc…) But I also have Bullfrogs, Large mouth bass in my “frabricated’ POND, brim, crappie,etc… But as far as a Really Big Pond , I’d like to know what kind of shark.?

    I think a koi would be a good fish to start with. You mentioned a shark fish. You’re best bet is go to a store that specializes in fish species. You have to make sure what fish are compatable together. If you put a shark in a pond you’ll probably end up with no fish at all. Also remember what will you do to overwinter them. Make sure when you build your pond that it is deep enough for the fish to overwinter. I believe Koi do very well in a pond over winter, but it has to be deep enough for them to survive. I have posted a link for you to view.
