          Hi Woo.,
          please dont put golden orfe in your pond,
          The pond looks good, but I killed 10 orfe in my pond a few years ago.

          They need lots of space and more importantly lots of oxygen.

          Just go for some common old goldfish.:)

                  I dont know.you cant beat watching orfe darting about . Having said that my pond is netted to protect from a huge heron thts been around for a few years now. It grabbed a frog the other day.Saw the legs danging from the beak as it took flight,poor little bugger .
