My grandad built one like this years ago but never used a liner the concrete was waterproof enough and he kept his golfish and koi very well in there for years never tested the water for lime/amonia etc but all i know is the fish and plants thrived in there a few years later he made me a smaller version about 7 feet long 2 feet deep again just bricks and cement no liner....

Looks like it would make a wonderful exercise pool except for all the fish in there. I assume the fish are not for food or would have other fish besides coi of gold fish. Are they easier to raise than tilapia for eating? Or do they produce so greatly that you can't keep up with them for occasiona meals?

Late to the post but liner is usually held down using wooden panels screwed into the brick or with another layer of bricks In this clip it looks like he used both methods,you can see a wooden trim around the pond which can be seen at 2:00 👍🏻 then he added another layer of bricks also
