I'm with you, I didn't think it'd be big enough for Koi. I read somewhere on here that you need at least 1200 gallons for them. I'd dearly love a sterlet (hence my name) but after reading the caresheets I couldn't offer one a good enough home.

My fish are colourful enough & as long as I keep in mind gallonage per fish (thanks for that too!) I can may be have some other colours in there.

I think I'll try a sloping bottom, one end 3ft going to 4ft. It's not herons I need to worry about it's cats (my own!) so I'll have a look into what deterrents I can use, probably similar to that for herons?
