Could I use this for a pond with small gold fish?

Absolutely. It's very sturdy. However, the plastic is not very good insulation from extreme heat or cold. To keep fish outside even in mild winters, you'll need to insulate it by either burying it as far into the ground as you can manage or wrapping it in insulation. Also, it could get pretty warm if left in direct sunlight for many hours a day. I would recommend getting a cheap pool thermometer to monitor the temperature for the first year.

That's what I am going to do with it. Online it said that it was okay for that. We shall see if my fish die or not. I'll update.

This is very large,,50 gallons. We house two LARGE turtles and could fit a few more. It takes up a fair amount of space. Go smaller!

Absolutely, they would love it I'm sure! We don't have fish in ours but we have a small filtration pump which keeps it quite clean & I put clarifier in when it clouds a bit which causes debris to fall to the bottom. Depending on where you live I have heard that herons may come by & grab a gold fish out of the pond like it's a suchi bar so people put screen over the top.

Yes, it would be fine. Just be aware the LED lights do not last very long. It is perfect for 1 fish.

A goldfish should be fine, as long as it's not a real big goldfish....it's a really nice little tank.

Good question which I don't really know the answer to. I would think it would say something to that effect on the product web site. Personally I wouldn't. I'm assuming you have a koi or goldfish type pond. Fish are extremly delicate to PH and chemical changes and unless the product stated it was specific to repairing those type of uses, I would shy away from it. That stuff is pretty expensive too. I would suggest getting rubber liner specific for ponds and just reline the existing pond. This is what I did w/ my koi pond leak.

It depends on the side and type. They say you need one gallon of water per inch of fish. Goldfish are adaptable in growth to the tank size however it is not always healthy. If you talk to people at your local pet store or wherever they can better answer this question. Some stores will only allow to have so many fish as well. I would say at most 5.

By the size you could but I am not sure about the material if it would hurt the fish or not.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your bowl is already very overstocked. Goldfish actually grow very large and can live up to 30 years! They also create a lot of waste, so anything 2 1/2 gallons large is just not going to cut it. If it is a fancy goldfish, it will need around 30-40 gallons just on its own, and if it's a common goldfish (has a single-finned tail), it will probably be better suited for a fish pond. That being said, I think that cherry shrimp by themselves would do alright in a 2 1/2 gallon container if you do regular 20-30% water changes. But I don't suggest anything else with the goldfish.

My kids have used the net to catch frogs. The holes are small & the net would work for minnows too.

Maybe a gallon...not good with the measurements. It is plenty of space for a small goldfish, ideal for a Beta. It is easy to change the water and quite the conversation piece!

I use mine for a small pond. The bag flops when it gets heavy so you have to change it often. I does the job!

I imagine that you could put the fish inside, but then you would not be able to see them. Where the water falls it's too small for fish-plus it has little holes for the water to drain to the bottom... Hope this helps...

Yes I think it would be too big. You need to enlarge you pond; then it would be fine. :)

Don't know if this item would be satisfactory for that, think you might want something larger. I used my rock fountain as an add on to my outside fish pond I actually draw water from the fish pond and it runs over the bottom back into the fish pond. Instead of it being self contained it is now part of the pond the water cascading over each level and back into the pond is awsome

I would say yes I am going to try it on my pond. I also am going to shorten the bag using a hose clamp as I only have 2' deal.

I think maybe 2 or 3 of these would work for a pond that size. It is fairly bright for it's size, but it's very very small.

My pond is just a little under 100 gal. it works perfectly. So the answer is no.
