Can you put perch and bass in a very small pond like a 125 gallon? If
so, how many? About 3 perch and 2 bass sound good?

Don't bass get bigger than Koi? I don't think you could put one Koi in that
size pond. Unless you just want to keep them fresh for a week before dinner.

Nathan,
I hate to sound flippant, but I think that some bass boats have live wells
that are larger than 125 gallons -- and that's only for keeping the bass
alive long enough to be weighed before being released.

Small Ones
Aquarium rule of thumb is 1" of fish per gallon of water. Each inch of
larger fish like these count as 2". Your biggest issue is dealing with the
waste, ammonium and nitrates. Take it slow, and let the pond mature (cycle)
before you start putting large fish in it.
JOhn :-)
