patio pond stocking

[ember04]

Hi everyone any pond people here

I am setting up a 68-gallon patio pond, I was wondering what people think I should stock it with. I live in a cold climate and in winter it can get down to 0 degrees celsius. I am going to add a pond heater and a pond filter. I will also add some pond plants.

I was thinking about fancy goldfish possible as I really like them
any suggestion would be great

I run white clouds with my goldfish no problems. Also things like swordtails or platies.

does anyone know the best type of goldfish for an outdoor pond that can live in a 70 gallon?

Are you going to put some mesh over the top of the pond? I know you said that you liked the fancy goldfish so maybe a comet could work. I’m not very good when it comes to different types of goldfish
