Good point, But i know a guy that is more north then me and he grows out his fry in ponds.

But anyway i will probably be putting 4 or 5 shubunkins or 7 or 8 fantails in the pond.

Shubunkins are basically the same size/shape as comets. In 100 gallon pond, with a good filter/waterfall type set up (for aeration as well as cleaning), you could have 6-7 goldfish easily. The main thing is good filtration and swimming room. My pond is roughly 180 gallons. I think, right now, I probably have about 15-20 goldies in it. I have more than I should, but I also have a larger filter than required and two waterfalls with multiple pools that act as extra filters. Here are a couple pics of my pond at feeding time.

Oh - and here is a pic of my female shubunkin and one of my comet females...so you can compare. I put them in a 2.5 gallon for pictures.

Ok i decided i am going to get Wakin for my pond. Since they are smaller and have a small fantail.

I will probably have 5 or 6 in the pond.

Paleofish
