I would like to make a pond for one of my rainbowsharks. I have two and I'll have to move one soon. I don't want to get a big new tanks for him. Could I put him in a plastic tub, like for moving and that. I've heard that it doesn't work that bad, and I want to do it indors. Since it is a warm water fish, would I need to put a heater in it? How would you make it into an indor pond?

First off, I mean a rubbermaid bin, I forgot what to call it. I'm really not so sure how big it is probabaly about 40-60 gallons. Not clear, but I have clear ones the same size. I want to surround it with something so it wouldn't look so bad. Should I put a liner in it just to make sure it doesn't leek. What should I use as a filter or heater, because I want to put my rainbow shark in it. There does that clear it up more?
put the heater inside some pvc and you wont have to worry about the bin melting no liner should be necessary use a ten galllon aquarium for a sump as a filter and drill a hole towards the top on the tub with some tubing going through it for an overflow. just make sure that the tub is thick enough to hold water and still with stand the fish ramming into the side of it.
yeah good advice just a bulkhead flowing into a 10 gal sump returned above the water surface put the heater in tank and your set.Hdeuce;2241408; said:
