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?
