Blakewater DwarfCichlidLvr EntoStentor thank you for being the voice of reason while I was outside riding a bike with my kid.

MatteoTheEnder22 you're standing on the edge of a cliff in this hobby my friend. You're one step away from self destruction right now. That's not a threat from me- that's an observation from having run this website for the past decade. I'm not going to stop you, because the type of dumpster fire you're on the verge of lighting is great for clicks and traffic.

Still, you REALLY need to listen to people who actually know what they're talking about. You're not ready for that pond.

I live right next to the everglades its pretty hot right where i live all year round even the water is hot also

I too am from Florida. I also happen to be a fisheries biologist. This is, shall we say, wrong.

It's better to have two small heaters than one larger one incase one fails.

Edit: I did the numbers and a fully set up 30 gal comes incredibly close to 500. Especially if you want to to be a planted tank.

I can attest to this. I set up a brand new 30 as a growout for my new juruense. I'm into this tank for about $400.

You know theres peacock bass here in florida right and they can survive the florida temps

Only in certain places in the state that are highly conducive to their survival. If you just drop them in a pool that is...

at the least a couple of feet deep

...They will die. A rubber liner will NOT insulate the body of water in the pond sufficiently to keep them alive.

No im in the planning phase right now

Perfect time to quit this pond idea, especially if your budget is only $500. You have a choice between a half ass pond doomed to failure or a kick ass 30 gallon blackwater or planted or whatever setup for the jelly cat that's done correctly and sustainably. Which do you think you'll enjoy more?

also im not a beginner that pond was supposed to be for my 8 year old goldfish which died because of my sister put her hands in the aquarium when i was in school

That's not why it died. Period.

i never said i wasnt going to get a filter i was going to get plants and let algae grow so it doesnt put too much pressure on the filter

If you're not going to do it right right from the beginning, then don't do it. Monster is a mindset, not a tank size. You're not acting like a MFKer with this mindset.

It does when its a toddler

You wont believe how dirty toddler hands are

I'm a dad. Try me. Nothing on that kid's hands could kill that fish unless that kid was into some sort of chemicals that would get CPS involved, and I sincerely doubt that would be the case.

Your welcome! Hope you had a nice ride and family time! We are going for bike rides more often now too!

Teenage fishkeeping is tricky, because the more people tell you that you cant do something, the more you want to dig your heels in and make obscene hand gestures.. But you dont have the money to prove them wrong. I know because I remember haha. But if he sticks to his new decision I think he'll be happy with the turnout.

I'm going to quietly disagree with you here.

With what part? I guess I should say it "can" be tricky. But I guess not everyone takes that route. I just remember being fascinated with fish, and normally they were big fish. But Id get furious constantly being told a fish I loved wasnt attainable at that moment. The forum did help me understand overtime, however

He's got a point. It definitely applied to me. I was a stubborn cuss at that age, and the best way to get me to do something was to tell me I couldn't.

Hell, that still applies actually... ?

Your statement about teens. I wouldn't have wanted to 'dig my heels in or make obscene hand gestures.'. This just wasnt me. To this day I still haven't cussed once or gave somebody a obscene hand gesture. And I had money - that I made. (NOT THE MY G-PARENTS GAVE ME)


I do agree with this:

Well then lets just say you were much better than I at self control haha but I was using it more as a metaphor for the mental irritation
