Hello, yes the title is very luring, but basically I was thinking what if I did a pond that was 500k gallons( might do an acre) and was selfsufficient. I would base everything off the amazon river including RTC, TSN, ripsaws, aripimas, arowanas, pacu, peacocks, maybe even alligator gar, I would have for feeders mosquito fish and tilapia, I would integrate shelves pipes lotsssss of plants and structures for the feeder fish to breed and hide, I would also add big shelves for catfish and peacocks, I would dig it deep below the frost line and im in Texas so winters or mildish. I would buy the fish as fry and slowly integrate the pond water over time till they have fully switched over and I would have pellets but I would switch them to live feeding but also the occasional pellets I will be feeding the pond maybe like once or twice a week at first than switch to once every two weeks. I would introduce the tilapia and mosquito fish first than wait for there population to bloom and add the predators, the catfish would be last, again it would be very planted w hardy pond plants and in the winter I would probably drop a bubbler in or two for different areas around the pond. Thank you I thought this would be a pretty cool idea.
