Still working on my pond. Having trouble with algae and the bog filter but once I get that cleared up I will post pictures of the actual fish.
My almost finished pond
- Thread starter mattgreene
- Start date
There are about 8 comet goldfish, 2 fantails, 1 medium sized pleco, 1 small pleco, 1 dojo loach, 3 dalmatian mollies, 2 bullfrog tadpoles, and a bunch of ghost shrimp. Originally I was going to put in some native sunfish because I was hoping they would be able to escape from my turtle as long as it was well fed and there was plenty of room to escape but unfortunately some native wildlife seems to have eaten the turtle. So I just put in some feeder comets to add some life to the pond until I got the sunfish and finished the landscaping but they grew so fast I just decided to make them the main focus not get the natives. The non-goldfish are either for algae control or in the mollies case just for curiosity since my local pond store sold some and said since it doesn't get very cold here (here being Houston) that they can survive.
Haha thanks for the compliments.
The deepest part is about 3 ft deep and the shallow end with the plant is only a bit over 1 ft deep.
And I agree, the dragonflies are the really great to watch.
