["Sandra Storr" <sandra.storr@pei.sympatico.ca>]

Just wondering if anyone can help me with advice regarding setting up a pond 
in Canada.  

Is it possible to raise a few food fish without water running through the 
pond if I use a wind and solar aeration system?

Any ideas on sizing or species?

Thanks for any help, Regards, Sandra
