I've been struggling to get my pond up and running for several months, facing issue after issue, but about a week ago I finally got everything in place and the rays moved over. The next night I also picked up a couple of large peacock bass, bigger one is pushing 16", smaller one I'd guess is about 12", though with them flopping so much I didn't get to measure them. Now that they are in the pond I really need to buy an underwater camera as well as figure out a webcam.

I've got a bit more cleaning up to do on the pond but it is nearly how I want it. Pipes have been cleaned up so there aren't nearly as many, lids have been added. I'm pretty pleased with it now.

In the first few sorry for the filthy glass. Figured why clean it when it is about to get water all over it again lol

Couple pond shots. It still needs a cleaning but I wanted to share regardless

Thanks for looking!
 
Thank you! The larger pair is from Mike at Central Ohio Discus and Stingray, I've had them since November. The smaller pair came from Trevor in Feb if I am remembering correctly. The larger male's claspers are starting to come in, though they aren't fully developed yet, as of when I moved them at least. I was hoping to see pups by the end of the year but I'm not sure my female will be ready at that point.
