Someday I will have one.

Will you catch the catfish yourself? And why sturgeon? I'm not sure how well they would do in a pond environment. They are a big water fish...

Great work!

Nah, I'm getting both the catfish and sturgeon from a local hatchery. The catfish will be 6" and the sturgeon around 17". I wanted sturgeon because I've never seen them in a backyard pond before. I talked with the hatchery owner for quite a while and he said they'd do very well in there. He actually has one in a 1500 gallon pond. I suppose it's because they're so docile.

Dont think the trout would do well in a backyard pond in Phoenix.....

Yeah I really don't think they would either

I can't wait to have the guys over for a herf on the back deck once it's done

Green with envy...fluorescent green.

I would love to see more pictures. These ecosystems are a true love of mine! Keep up the good work!
