I want to have a go at breeding Goldfish, Particularly the Black Moors.

I can get all sizes but I am going to get the biggest. 16-18cm I plan to get 5.

What size tank or pond should I get? is there any good breeding guides I can follow.
 
Where abouts do you live in the world/what sort of climate do you have? If your area gets icey or gets snow in the winter, it'll be too cold for black moors in an outdoor pond. Most fancy goldfish are actually more sub-tropical than coldwater and cannot survive freezing conditions, while slim type goldfish like comets, commons and shubunkins are true coldwater fish and can easily tolerate such conditions during the winter.
If it gets too cold where you live, you'll need to stick a heater in the pond in the winter so the fancy goldfish like black moors can make it safely through the winter, otherwise you need an indoor aquarium. I'm not sure about black moor breeding, but i know with slim type goldfish like comets, commons and shubunkins they need to be around at least 4 years old before they are mature enough to breed.
