pond

Hello, I have a pond wich is on average 1,5m deep and has an approximate surface of 3000-4000m^2. It has a very high population of crayfish, shellfish, insects, larvae, frogs, perches, carps and many other nonpredatory fish from two to 30cm in length. I am thinking of adding a small school of...

Thoughts? Concerns? Opinions?

OK guys I need some help. I need some advise on how to design a filter for the pond. I am thinking about basically making a traditional sump like for a aquarium but buried underground. I am gonna use a bottom drain system with the pump after the filtration. I have some ideas but would love to...

So I had this idea to buy a small pond for my garden around 100 to 1000 litres (20 to 200 gallons) And keep fish I catch in rivers and lakes like freshwater bullheads,sticklebacks and one carp or trout and a eel if it's legal to catch and keep European eels so is this legal and would you...

I'm working on putting a small pond (around 500-700 gallons) in my back yard in the Dallas fort worth area. I was wondering if some herichthys cyanoguttatus (true Texas cichlids) could over-winter without the need for heat. I've read that they can survive temperatures all the way down to 45 f...

I am trying to retrofit a "dome" or a cover on top of an existing bottom drain. The current one as I can see at the bottom of my concrete pond is a 12" square opening with grate, which eventually connected to a 2" pipe. Pond came with the house so I don't have details on design. I am thinking...

Debating to build a monster tank with single side display by 4ft x 8ft or similar sized glass. Questions: It would have to be tempered glass, right? What would be the ideal thickness? 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", or 1"? Assuming the water height would be 36" to 42". Cost? Would silicon be the sealant...

I have mostly experience with Angelfish and Bettas. I was curious if anybody can give me any references, suggestions or help with an idea I have for my sunroom? I was thinking of maybe doing something like in this picture (but maybe not quite as fancy or as large) for cold water fish in my...

Hey guys, need some halp. A bit confused on what direction I should go. The baby common goldfish I rescued off of craigslist need to come out of that 10 gallon quarantine. No luck finding a home for them yet and I don't want them to get stunted since they seem to have grown a little even with a...

Hey guys I have an issue and I need help fast. I have an 18 inch RTC in an outdoor pond. I live in san jose california and winter temperature ranges from 55 F in the morning-75 degrees highest( outside temp). sometimes the high is 65F. My Pond is very big and I dont know if the RTC can survive...

Just sharing my humble outdoor pond of which I hardly have time to take care of. Surprisingly though, the inhabitants flourish in there regardless of the lack of filtration. All I have in there is a 2.5hp water pump for constant water flow over some japmats for bio. Other than that, a bi monthly...

Hello, I am in the process of creating a 900 gallon pond, and would like to know if I can keep tropical fish all year round, or will I have to move them back into my tank for the winter. If it is the latter then I'll just raise some koi and goldfish. Thanks

Hello everyone, I would like to know how I could keep a channel catfish in arizona. I know you can use a stocking license for aquaponics (That's what I think, please correct me if you know). I would like to keep one or two of these guys inside my pond that I'm creating this september. I have not...

Hey guys, been a while since I was on here, moved cross country and have three old ponds each about an acre. I don't know if anything is in them but I'm assuming that they are smaller than they use to be and have a lot of plant growth, they're pretty much empty. They are in southern Oklahoma, a...

Hello all, My father and I are building a pond, which is 10 ft in length, 3 ft deep, 4 ft wide. We are currently in the planning stage but we have the area it will be in. We plan for 1 foot of the pond to be in ground and 2 feet of it above ground. We are trying to keep it as cheap as possible...

Hi everyone! I'm new to MFK and would appreciate any and all help. I've read a lot of threads about keeping Jars alone as they are the most aggressive species of arowana. However, I've also read that keeping them in groups of 6-10 tends to subdue aggression. Can anyone confirm this? I want to...

Hi guys, I would like to keep a redtail catfish. I have two options with this - my plan right now is a 12' intex pool, RTC, TSN, 3 silver aros, and then a few filler fish (4 oscars, 4 plecos, 3 silver dollars, 2 jags). Would this stocking list work? Can pbass and stingrays be successfully...
