Ill post pics of the suprise when its completed... Im pretty excited about it..

The silver aro jumped out. I learned my lesson and will never put another aro in one of these ponds. Ive never had any other fish jump out since Ive had the two ponds, but I dont want to put a cover over it, so I will just stick to not having anymore aros in the ponds. I will keep them in aquariums only with tight lids...
 
and people say big ponds cost too much. $250(sometime less than that) and diy filtration and ya get a nice big pond.

notice any crazy hybrids?

Got the pond/pool on sale at walmart for $79.99, pump for about the same and had everything else for the filtration...

No crazy hybrids yet :D

any room for more in the future?

Oh yeah there is always more room. More room in this pond. Have the 1100 down there with this one and at the end of this summer when they start marking the pools down again I will be getting two more 2500 gallons or maybe bigger for the garage. Just have to see whats left..
 
exactly, biglots had them for $50 a few months back now they're $100+

would luv to see the cats or bass mix it up.
 
Figured Id post some baby pictures of some of the ponds inhabitants so you can see how much they have grown over the last little over a year... :D
