Question
Hi.  I just put in a 90 gallon pond and would like to know if it is big enough to have fish?  If so, what kind?  Can I have frogs too?  Thank you.

Answer
Yes, you can have fish.  While koi grow to up to 3 feet and are a bad option, a few goldfish (who grow to about a foot long) would be ok.  For an even better situation, try some native fish or tropical fish (which you'd have to bring in during the winter).  I love rosy red minnows myself.  They are like mini goldfish.  You can also have frogs.  Check out my web site for more information on all these topics at http://www.fishpondinfo.com

Good luck!
