Nice pond. How do you like your stargrass (Dichromena latifolia)? I have some of that and it is a nice plant, very different.
I agree it would be wise to give those fish much more room. Have you had any issues with this pond overheating in the summer? I would think that especially in your climate and with it being rather small and up off the ground that it could quickly become too warm for those goldfish.

Hi all thanks for the comments. The container is actually a preformed plastic container. the hottest I have measured the water temp at during the summer is 76 degrees. The lilly and the hornwort shade most of the water surface. I have also been fortunate enough to have my golddfish spawn for the first time. I am now in the process of re - homing them. I love the stargrass, it is very hardy, and i have had very little problem maintaining it, which is a big deal for me

For anyone who's interested, Lowe's sells whiskey barrel repro's that would make a perfect container pond, IMO. They are about $30 if I remember. I don't know what volume of water they hold, but they are 19" diameter at the top. Made out of fiberglass, they are perfectly water-tight.
