Hi! Here's my pond

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very nice pond, do you use something to keep it from freezing over in the winter?
 
Thanks :)
I use an airpump/diffuser to keep a hole in the ice so the gasses kan get out, and so the fish don't sufficate.

And I put a crate with holes in the sides over the hole, to help keep it open.
It works fine, even when it gets down to -30 C.

It's important then that the air-stone is not placed deep, because then all the water will start to sircle and be chilled down.

You know water is heavyest when its +4 C, and stays at the bottom.

That's the name of them, I read it on Your tread Loubard!
The same fish :)

Ha ha, sharp action Roy L.! :D
 
Yeah, you can buy it at every Garden center who sell pond stuff and fish. Like €10,- for 10 fish. You can also buy the normal dark form and a blue form too.

And is it common at Drammen, Norway?

Your pond is looking good btw, is it indoors?
 
There is a few lakes in the south part of Norway they've been put out, and we don't see them often in shops...
But ofcourse ponding is not a very common thing either, not like in Uk, Germany and the Netherlands..
Did You mean my little livingroom-pond on my space?
That was just a little prefabricated pond I set up very simply...
Missed seeing my fish during the wintertime :D
