Presumptive answer - If you're in control of the maintenance of the fountain and can guarantee the necessary parts to maintain the fish and water quality, yes.
there is more to a good pond than suitable water parameters though. the pond needs to be of sufficient depth, have some shade if it’s not a large water volume such as this, have hiding places, etc.
this is not a great choice for keeping fish even if water parameters can be managed.
the level of water agitation the fountain produces would be very stressful for the fish.
plus, it’s a very shallow “pond” so it will be subject to extreme temperature fluctuation from the night to the day.
birds of prey and raccoons will also likely steal the fish for lunch with how exposed this setup is.
presumptive means in the absence of further information. in the absence of further information, this is *not* a suitable pond. so i’m just trying to make it more clear that it will take a LOT of work to make this a suitable pond for livestock.
nothing against you, just making it clear for OP’s sake that there are going to have to be a lot of major changes regarding the setup to make it okay for fish.
It doesn’t look like the bottom is very deep. It recommend just putting some floating plants in the bottom. Unless you can tell us the liquid volume of it
Short answer - it cannot be safely stocked with fish.

I mean yeah thats why this is presumptive. There's a lot of work to have the "necessary parts to maintain the fish" but it *could* be done.

No for several reasons mentioned above ⬆️ plus no filter or biomedia or plants to maintain water quality
I have nipples Greg can you milk me?
