I'd like to build a small pond perhaps 3 x 5 metres in my backyard and
would ideally like to have some fish living in it. Could anyone post
some good links to building and constructing such a thing?
What plants grow best in a pond?
Thanks heaps :)

Well I kinda searched all over the place for constructions tips. I got most
of my construction info from http://www.koicymru.co.uk/index.htm and then my
final coatings from http://www.koi-koteusa.com

Kinda defeats the purpose of the list - we want to hear the
conversation too......

everyone knows my contribution - don't be in a hurry to add the fish, let
the pond sit and settle for a year first. Everyone else says a year is too
long, but .....
