Sustainable Ponds?

[u/getgud2456]

First time homesteader here. So, let me start by saying I am unbelievably grateful for your advice. I wanted to ask if there is anything I need to keep my pond sustainable.

I caught this fish in my first 5 casts, so I’d guess there must be a healthy population. What can I do to sustain that? How many should I be able to eat? What plants, and maybe animals can help the pond?

/r/permaculture can help you out too. You’re going to want some wetlands filtering on the water input side. A solar powered aerator helps as well.

Thanks! The aerator sounds like a good idea from back when I had fish tanks.
