is my pond big enough

[superluke]

i am planning on biuilding a 5lx3dx2h indoor pond could maybe go up to 4d if needed it will have a giraffe catfish 2 o's and would it be possible to have a silver arrowana in there

if you mean 5 FEET LONG X 3 FEET WIDE X 2 FT DEEP then it maybe ok but bigger is better

i would build it a little longer 8'x4'x3'.....better turn around room and more room to swim. IMO. But 5'x3'x2' would be iffy.

 

[superluke]

ye all measurment's in ft well iu can't make it any longer only deeper so would 5x4x2 be big enough

 

[haynchinook334]

would be oKay.

 

[Sandman334]

that sure be okay

thanks for the help guys it will be filtered by a 21x14x14 inch box with a layer of filter floss then full of pot scrubbers wiyh 6000 lph will that be enough or should i add an additional 14x11x12 box with a 4000lph box same layout as the other 1

That's a lot of potscrubbers. Bird netting (like you put over vegetables) is a good alternative.

well i can get 5 pot scrubbers for 59p and was going to buy all the scrubbers for the bigger filter and get the pump set it up and when the fish have grew a bit i will buy the smaller pump get it set up with only a few pot scrubbers and every time i get enough to buy about 50 more buy 50 more

I'd say no long term, 5' long for a fish thats going to get to 30"+ isn't going to work, unless its 8' wide....
