View submission: Mega Advice Thread - Pond building tips
I would never have a pond without rocks, but they are more work. Also, if you have fish they can get trapped. We found one of my wife’s precious giant gold fish trapped. I was sure it was dead but it sprang to life after freeing it. Now we take a quick census for trapped fish every once in a while!

I know what you mean about worrying about fish being trapped, but without trying to sound like an asshole, if you build it right you dont have to worry about fish getting trapped by rocks.
Ive noticed alot of people, when they put rocks in, they dont really have shelves of any kind, that the rocks look like they were just dumped there, or that the rocks arent supported. If you build shelves and have the rocks supporting eachother then youll never have problems with them falling on fish or not. Plus the way you lock the rocks in is by shoving gravel in between every nook and crany, this supports the rocks but also can stop fish from going into cracks.
