Hello,
 
Yesterday, am went to my local fish centre to buy a young Common gold fish and a young Wakin goldfish. In addition, as seen in the image am have three 15 year old beautiful gold fishes such as a Common gold fish, Shubunkin gold fish and a red Comet goldfish.
 
Here’s the dimensions for my fishpond that’s outside in the garden:
 
Length: 95cm
Width: 78cm
Depth: 42cm
 
Furthermore, here’s the volume of the fishpond:
 
Litres: 311.22
Imperial gallon: 68.48
 
The fishpond pump in the fishpond has stopped working. Therefore, am looking for essential products that’s high quality, energy efficient and quite quiet such as an all in one fishpond pump, oxygen pump or filtration system to maintain a healthy, clean and successful fishpond so the fishes naturally grow well and healthy.
 
Am think an all in one solution is the best because an all in one pump is better as saves space, is ideal as is easy to clean and is nice as offers pretty water fountain feature. My budget for a high quality all in one fishpond pump is £30-£70. In addition, please suggest a filtration system and oxygen pump as well. My budget for a quality filter and oxygen pump is: £20-£60.
 
Please offer information for whether a fishpond that has separate, but cheaper £30 oxygen pump and £30 filtration system is better. On the other hand, please offer information for whether a fishpond that has an expensive £60 all in one fish pump is the best.
 
Thanks

Hello,
 
As you think, the fish tank may look too small for the large beautiful fishes. Although, my garden is fair in size plus has lots of open space, as am live in the nice countryside the upper level is high. Thus, am don’t have flat space to have an nice big fish tank. However, there’s an fairly well level area that’s quite big and is able to be flat so in the future am could have an nice big fish tank. At the moment, as the size is fair the fish tank looks pleasant so the garden is still useable for clothing, eating, sport activities and for friends and family.  
 
Also, have looked online and saw the water in the fishpond has to not have much chloramine or chlorine and the quality of water should be high in order for the fish to be healthy and to live well. Thus, have contacted my local water company for information on the chloramine, chlorine amount and to have a good idea of the water quality. As you fish enthusiasts have good information and use goldfish dechlorinators to maintain quality water, then please recommend a quality goldfish dechlorinator for £5-£10 that’s good value, works quite well, is natural and helps to maintain the best quality water.
 
Can you offer useful information on quality water and ways to achieve the best quality water? Am will look online further to see valuable information, then make the water quality high so the fishes grow healthy and quite live well.
 
Thanks
