Question
what are the biotic and abiotic factor in a fish pond

Answer
Why am I getting all these questions about abiotic and biotic factors?

The analysis is simple: biotic = alive, abiotic = not alive.

What is alive in a fish pond?  Certainly the fish! Plants, insects, bacteria, fungi, etc. etc.

What is part of the pond, but not alive?  The water! Rocks, dead wood,
mud and sand, etc.

I am sure you can think of lots more.  

Lou
