Soil texture is crucial for fish pond construction. Soils with a high proportion of clay are generally preferred as they offer good water retention, preventing seepage. However, very heavy clay can be problematic for digging and management. A loam or clay loam texture, which is a balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay, is often considered ideal for fish ponds. Silty clay and silty clay loam also fall into this suitable category.
