The Longfin variety of the White Clouds is quite a stunning fish. With it's long bright red fins and purple body they are quite the spectacle.
One of the most popular of all aquarium fish, White Clouds tolerate a wide range of temperatures and are ideal for both heated and unheated aquaria, and for outdoor water features.
Very peaceful, they are best kept in a school as this gives the males a chance to try and outshine their rivals with impressive fin displays. They are not fussy about water conditions and eat most standard fish foods.
Originally native to southern China (but now reputedly endangered in the wild), they grow to about 4cm. They breed readily and the young fish have a neon stripe.

With ponds, you want to create a natural ecosystem as best as you can.
Freshwater mussels are a great natural water filter.
Firetail Gudgeons are amazing mozzie larvae eaters to keep mozzie breeding to a minimum.
Murray River Rainbows are good from South Melbourne to north QLD.
Pacific blue eyes mainly better in the warmer regions of Australia.
Glass shrimp will help control algae.
You want to check local fisheries websites to ensure fish you are releasing are allowed in your area and ensure it is flood resistant as best you can.
Having plants is a great way to help oxygenate the pond. When you have plants you want to make sure the fish won't be digging them up (goldfish can do this).
Having a filter is ideal but also understand not always an option.
