While I know most of the posts are tanks, and I have put a few up of my SW tanks, I thought some people might get a kick out of this.
When I bought my house I was insistent on putting in a fish pond. I went about on a four month task of digging, setting up filtration, building etc. This was about 5 years ago. After up and running for about 2 months, I added in 6 small Koi.
Since then the fish have reproduced, way to frequently, about 20 - 30 offspring a year, with 10 or so surviving. It is now 4 years later and have about 40 fish in the pond, the large ones being about 14" or so and the small ones about 3 - 4".
To give you an idea of the dimensions, at the widest point it is about 18' by about 14' and about 5' deep in the middle and about 18" on the edges. The waterfall is about 4' high.
Here are two pictures.
