Mango4Jade Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) My friend Yeevia allowed me to post his photos of his pond. Check these out!

Chuckie Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Does he have much trouble with the bettas jumping out, Mango? Or are the ponds covered when they're not being photographed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubbskm Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 We did the same thing but with goldfish! Anything smaller and the Kingfishers and Kookaburras would have taken, if not covered. There was a bet going to see how long they would last between the birds and cats. They found a new pond when we started into Bettas. Was thinking of doing it again with Aiden's guppies and a strong cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Its actually fully covered, but when taking pics he takes looks of the plants out. And he said the pond is big so they dont feel jumpy Im thinking of doing similar but with birdnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryfriendly Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Not that is very cool !! I like it. Tell me Mango, does your friend have many problems with the fish getting aggresive towards each other or is it a non event because of the size of the pond? Also How long does it take them to clean it and how often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I saw pics of that pond on Bettas4all.nl. It's great and I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Cheers for that Mango, it's exactly what I've been looking for. My betta ponds might not be to far off now http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 The bettas hardly get agressive due to the fact of the hiding spaced of the plants provided, but if one gets aggressive (99% Chance its a male) then Yeevia jars then up. IMHO, I would think most of them are females. I know he puts his males in beenie boxes. http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I have to comment on the betta being spoon fed http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif with that many bettas I would use my hands to scatter the pellets!!

Robbies Betta Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 That is one thing that gets up my "craw" about the asian breeders, they don't need heaters http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif life would be soo much easier without the worry of heaters and needing to keep tanks covered for humidity (damn winter spawnings http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Well, Yeevia is asian But he uses 300watt heaters >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think its the climate difference that gets up robbies nose Oh for a climate that wouldn't kill fish if left to its own devices! :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 exactly Mousie although, I dont resent the fact that we have far less mozzies and flies here (but then again, mozzies = wrigglers right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
