Xsilver368 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi there, Today I put together my mini pond and thought I would share some pictures. I have never had anything to do with ponds before so planting the plants and getting them to stay planted didn't exactly go smoothly but I got there in the end :-) I also brought two goldfish who will eventually reside in there! Enjoy the pics! Love this plant! Fishy no 1 - Fishy no 2 - I have never seen a brown goldfish before? How long should I wait before I add the fish?

les Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi Xsilver My Niece Keeps a pond. She cleaned it out last week and put the goldies back in the day after she filled it back up. Her pond gets full morning sun and the clorine breaks down real quick. I think your water should be prity similer to hers. I put my guppies in there outside tubs the day after I fill if I use tap but if I use bore I put them in the same day. Happy ponding Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks quite large for a barrel. How much water does it hold? I've always wanted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 what's that plastic thing on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xsilver368 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think it is roughly 120L? It is quite big and the plastic on the inside is a preformed liner, I was going to use pond liner but this was neater and I think lasts longer and looks a whole heap better :-) I put the two smaller goldys in there today and they seem quite content so far. I'm thinking about setting up another one for my endler fry that are about to be born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 do you have any pumps or something that helps with water circulation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xsilver368 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 No I don't have any pumps in there but I am currently looking on Ebay for one, any suggestions? I would like to get a solar powered one if that it even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes its posible to get solar pumps. Bunning carry them and they are not to expencive. how are your goldies doing with the heat at the moment? Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
