When it comes to pond fish there are tons of options. I love goldfish and koi (although Koi are illegal to keep where I live), both are colourful, pretty easy to care for (although koi get really big!) and they graze on algae (Bonus).
The problem I have is the birds keep eating my goldfish (too easy to spot). So now in my outdoor ponds I only keep native fish, they are much quicker and more camouflaged.
There’s also quite a few small interesting fish suitable for use in small container ponds. You can also keep shrimp and snails! Anyway you can use the links below to check out some of the various options.

There’s a video below that shows most of the fish I keep in my ponds.
