Little Butch 16 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) If I had a big Pond I'd love to have all sorts of Freshwater Fish In there but I've got the smallest Garden so will have to make do with this! Might get a couple of Goldfish then go down the local Pond and see what I can catch Butch Edited March 25, 2009 by Little Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlefish 549 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Little butch - do not put gravel in the bottom of it - all it does is create somewhere for debris etc to gather, stagnate and poison your pond. If you are putting a small pump in, the gravel will get sucked into your pump and block and damge the pump. If you do not have a filter then you might need to clean out the bottom every now and again (with a net to remove leaves etc) gravel will only create a dirty mess in there. Let the water stand for a few weeks before you expect anything to live in it and survive. You could get a water lily in a pot and set it on the bottom of the pond - it will soon grow and cover the pond surface to provde shelter to the inhabitants. The pond looks quite small so it might be good to use as a wildlife pond for frogs, newts, dragonfiles etc. rather than fish. If you lived closer I have a pond full of last years baby goldfish - you could have tried a few of those. But let your pond water settle before you try to put any fish in and then just stick to a couple of small ones - it is hard to be patient but it is so disapointing to see them die after a few days. Keep posting pictures of your progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
