Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on my pond. I looked them
up in my "North American Native Fishes" book. I like 'em! Are there
commercial sources for these fish or is it better/easier for me to
just go catch 'em myself?

I was at the pet store today and nearly succumbed to buying some
koi... just because I'm itching to get some fish in that pond! Yeah,
I know, I hate koi too.
