Thanks for the ideas guys
I Was think maybe some large fancy goldfish
But some fancy guppies would be pretty neat too agree the koi will just out grow the space
idk If platys or swordtails would survive the brutal California winters ? ?
I haven’t checked the temp but it’s a Bit cold in the am
anyways bit of any update my filter kept clogging up so I went back to the drawing board still didn’t spend any cash just used stuff I found laying around I have lots of free time currently
so I took apart the filter and submerged the powerhead on one side of pond and with some thick filter floss wrapped the intake of the pump (to stop debris from clogging intake )
Then I attached a 1/2 hose which feeds up
To a other side of pond and to a old planter my wife had sittin in the garage , I attached it to my fake treee and then drilled out a hole and attached a elbow from a old sponge filter to create a neat little water fall like feature,
It drops into some sponges I’ve hidden down below along with some Other media ,
So fars its been running flawlessly Since my last posting and my few feeders are loving it ?? all my plants seem happy and the water is crystal clear
So far the budget pond has been a hit with the wife and kids it’s very peaceful to just Stare
