What else did you have in there? That must be pretty neat if you had hundreds of barbs.I turned my in ground pool into a pond several years ago. Its going fine. Its got heaps of fish. The only time I lost a significant number of fish is when a cormorant visited a few years ago and ate hundreds of barbs,
That must be one heck of a "tank" any pictures?Hi there's Rosy Barbs in reasonable, Golden Barbs also breed well, Tinfoil Barbs (haven't bred), Zebra and Leaopard Danios, Giant Danios, Pearl Danios, Buenos Aires Tetras, Red-bellied Tetras, Silver Dollars, Paradise Fish, Black sharks, Yoyo loaches, Bristle-noses, Bronze and Peppered Corydoras, Crimson-spotted Rainbowfish, Pacific Blue-eyes, Geo braziliensis. Someone gave me a few Jack Dempseys a couple of years ago. They are a nuisance they breed in big numbers and eat a lot of the smaller fish. I catch a lot and destroy them, but I think all the smaller fish are reducing in numbers and gradually I'll only have the bigger fish which is a pity. It wasn't difficlt to set up. I just stopped chlorinating the pool, put in a heap of plants and wood, then fish.
Yes please share with us any photos you have....might as well since the thread starter appears to have moved on and is long gone.I suspect that those "fish experts" did him wrong.I turned my in ground pool into a pond several years ago.
