Ducks and gold fish?

How deep is Deep enough?

I think Mine would be too shallow

Depending on where you live and how cold it gets it's a minimum of 3 feet to winter over fish. At least that is what I read when I dug my pond. I know people keep goldfish in horse tanks that live year round. They do have heaters in them during the winter though. Really it's just giving them somewhere to hide from the ducks that will save them imo. Put a couple cinder blocks or bricks in the tank and they should be able to hide in the holes to avoid being eaten.

Pool cleaners or tank cleaners? I was told to use rye straw but the ducks and geese just added to much grass and mud for it to work.

I wouldn't really advise them for either. Goldfish and Koi are extremely messy and create loads of Ammonia in the water. They would probably dirty it up even more than the ducks.

Fish don't help clean pool for ducks, they just dirty it up especially gold fish

But if you're going to leave your pond full for extended periods of time a few minnows to eat mosquito eggs is a good idea.
