12.5 gal mini waterfall pond

[convict360]

Been letting it cycle (nearly 2 weeks now). Goldfish is still in the tote(oddly he always hides(I've never seen him out swimming))

He perhaps has brain damage or mental scarring from the waterfall

The waterfall is not that strong. I think it may be because he's by himself.

I put the Goldfish in last Monday. Funny, after 3 weeks of running it empty it was still spotless... now 3 days after adding the Goldfish, algae has started re-growing on the waterfall part.

Think that is just something that will happen really. The algae in my tank housing 17 medium goldies (4-6") is growing very slowly and my one wall is basically a window

Shes adorable

And here's the cleaned pond with it running.. I bleached it earlier to kill anything. I'm not going to use this water yet. I'm going to drain it and move it.

Daughter wanted to pose with it

I would love to put goldfish it...even one but they would out grow it quickly.

So far the plan is to put Rosy Reds in it.

Strangely, the wife even mentioned putting it in the house.

Thanks, 2 years later she still looks the same.

Time to shut this down. During my yearly cleaning... there were no fish in it this time. I'm tired of having to top it off 2 or 3 times a week during summer.

I also accidentally broke the pump. I have a spare in the garage...but it looks like the wife moved it. So, I have no idea where it is.
