I want a pond but can not decide on the size of the pond. What is a good size for a beginner?
A. The number one complaint we get about ponds is that the pond is too small!!! A good beginner pond is an 11 x 16. A good size to start but gives enough area for the future hobbyist. People seem to always find new plants and fish they want to try. This size of pond allows you some freedom to do so. Bigger is usually the rule of thumb rather than smaller.
