| Grant, I have a smaller 6,000 gallon pond that is about 5.5 feet deep. If you have over filtered the pond and either do frequent water changes or use a trickle in method, you should be able to keep about 6 full grown females in that pond IMHO. But it all depends on your filtration and your mainteneance protocols.
Personally I keep my largest in my big pond and use the smaller pond to "finish" off the fish for show with slightly harder water in that pond. I also keep a few very small babies in there as it's easier to keep track of them in this pond.
