I have 2 ponds and have actually really loved stocking them with small $.32 goldfish from PetSmart. Half of the fun is watching them grow. My ponds are not covered with nets. I lost fish in one pond to a predator about 3 years ago, but no incidence since. The only true basic requirement for success is to have some falling water (to aerate the pond). Both of my ponds current inhabitants are about 3 years old. They spawn around May of each year, but so far I have only 1 new offspring in each pond and they were spawned last year.
