Are you wondering what the size of your fish pond should be? The size of your fish pond is dependent on so many factors. So before you set out to construct your pond, you need to have a specific capacity in mind. In this very informative piece, you will find out how to determine the size of a fish pond. The following factors are what you should consider before you choose the right size for your pond.
The Type of Fish
Yes, this is the first point in determining the size of your pond. There are different types of fish, and their growth rate is critical in choosing a size for your pond. For example, the koi fish can grow as big 70 pounds and about three feet long. The Koi fish becomes so large and eats up everything in the pond too. So if you are raising a Koi fish, make sure you have a pond that contains at least 1000 gallons. But another type of fish like the Goldfish does not grow so large and can work in a smaller pond.

Pond Location
Another factor that will help you decide on the size of your pond is where you intend to keep it. Select the right pond liner size at a online website such as: http://www.swelluk.com/pond/pond-liners-54. Ponds are great when they are out in the open; you can have them in the garden out in bright sunlight. But here is the thing, having your pond on the outside comes with tons of algae, hot water in the summer and plenty vegetation.

So you need to keep your pond where it needs to be protected from harsh environmental conditions.  A small pond could work indoors, but if you are going to have a big pond, it has to be outside, but in the shade. You need to provide shade for your pond. It needs protection from the environment.

Number of Fishes and Plant You Intend To Have
The last on our list is the number of the organisms you expect to have in the in the pond for you to determine the size of the pond. This will help you pre-calculate the space you will need for the pond. If you are getting koi fish, you need to calculate their growth rate and how many areas the entire fishes need to help them grow properly. For example, if you have 10 standard fishes, you will need at least 1000 gallons in a 3 feet deep pond.  This will give enough space to allow them to grow correctly. You also need to know the number of water plants you will have in your pond.

The following tips above will help you make the right choice when choosing the size of your pond, the above factors are very essential, and you need to consider all of them before setting up your pond thoroughly. This will help you prepare for any eventuality and even know what to expect from the future.
