aquariumlover10 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 So I have had a preformed pond laying around since around Easter, and I set it up(ish) Saturday. I filled with water, and I put some salvania, duckweed, small bit of hornwort and anacharis, plus a trumpet snail I caught before at a lake(will be getting shrimp fish and such from same area) and a mussel shell that had algae and biofilm stuff on it. I should get a fountain pump next week and some slate/driftwood in a couple weeks. I will get pics after lumch Soothing Shrimp, Edwardnah and Crazyfishlady 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 You can't really see the snail on the bottom, my camera didn't focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah, I have a few mosquitofish in my tank that I am putting in as soon as I get the pump, also I am thinking about some smaller species of sunfish for the pond.

Dendrobatez Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Good pumps, I use them for my DIY filters. Saw something like this recently where someone was breeding CPD's in a similar setup outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Cool, yeah I've seen people do guppies breeder ponds outside for feeders, they just get a plastic baby pool, and fill it with abunch of hornwort and waterlettuce, then just have a few air stones in it.
