Aquariums were never the only reason I stayed...I couldn't possibly move with those pointed at me now could I? 😊

My pond is going strong one year later. Got into the whole hobby because of your videos. I always appreciate your pond posts. Thank you!! Also caveat, thanks for the tank top vids too!

[@ikoyDaPnoy]

My 2 cents: Add a small cage of gravel or pebbles that sits right in front of solar pump's water stream ... instant mini bog filter. ALSO: Great music

[@marcuswhitmore6622]

I actually think as the new pond matures and all the Medaka’s colours start to pop from the sunlight that pond will look great with the mix of colours. 😊

[@AQUAPROS]

I hope so! :)

[@island_Dave_KeyWest]

Really enjoy your posts. Appreciate the fact you say you’re not an “expert” with specific things but that’s encouraging to us true novices it’s ok if we don’t know it all but to accept not everything has to be perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AQUAPROS]

Its tough to be an "expert" in all that is fishkeeping.... I think most of us just hone in on certain aspects and get really good/knowledgeable! Or at least try too ;)

[@jessicawalden]

I don't think there is a true expert maybe close like Mr Mike here and Dean but still don't know it all and willing to learn that's the key

[@RLCatMan-dr2vk]

I'd keep some goofy unwanted rice fish! All are adorable and small~!

[@SvenHerrmann-gv4mh]

So cute and so interesting content.

[@NiX_aKi]

Nice set up! Lovin that duck butt 😆 and that night light 💗 Maybe that pump needs some smacking? Remember in the 90's when you need to smack the TV for it to get its sh*t straight? 😅

[@AQUAPROS]

ohhhh ya i smacked it a milllllion times, might need to just pony up another 60 bucks for a new one... RIP

[@CoreyPelletier86]

The 80's patio pond montage part of the video 😎

[@AQUAPROS]

hahahah :)

[@HelenT-xv6zm]

Many, many, years ago when I set up a galvanized bucket pond I was instructed to rub the inside of a new bucket with vinegar and then rinse it well. It was supposed to remove any oils, etc.

[@holydiver3141]

Love the 80's music! haha The pop up summer pond is so fun! So easy to set up and so forgiving and a lot of aquatic plants have really nice flowers too... often blooming in these kind of settings... 🙂

[@chrisknight6410]

Very nice my man.

[@rickbooher8224]

Every thought of adding a living plant wall to filter the water for your pond fish.

[@AQUAPROS]

Or even just a tank inside... genius!

Loved seeing the update and new stuff... had to laugh at your foot opening the door 😂 Happy ponding!

[@AQUAPROS]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!!!

[@RemSudowoodo]

I ordered pearl rice fish from Aquahuna after watching your videos and they came slightly orange. It was my first time with rice fish so I wasn't sure if they were supposed to look like that but after the first 2 weeks or so in my patio pond, they turned completely orange. Not sure if it they shipped the wrong ones but I didn't bother to make a big deal about 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@808beastsplayground]

I almost stopped breeding rice fish but you sparked my interest again with these small ponds

[@AQUAPROS]

Sweeeeet, mission accomplished 🫡

I can only imagine that metal pond would get extremely hot. That frame is cool. I have no plant store near me selling pond plants. Have you ever grown water Iris ? Do you bring your plants in during winter ?

[@jessicawalden]

Thank you for fixing that for the special ones i have not even started.on.my pond i need rice fish and plants maybe soon lol

[@karaleeann1211]

Feed the pond! ❤🐟

[@stevenkurtgumba4543]

look at the grass name in 5:00

[@RLCatMan-dr2vk]

I'd definitely buy rice fish no matter what they look like. Shamelessly saying I'll buy some if you want, unique is good!

[@rickbooher8224]

You can get some epoxy aquarium interior paint to paint the inside of the galvanized tubs if you are concerned. It is paint many people use to paint the inside plywood aquariums to keep them from leaking. Don't nknow the brand but I seen videos of people using this paint. I would like to use a big 5- 8 round galvanized water trough found at farm suppliers. I think the increase size filled with a isle of plants where the fish can swim around it would make a great pond. But I would paint it black so you can see the fish from above using the paint I mentioned above.

[@jessicawalden]

There is a solar pump mel the Hawaiian fish keeper used that was pretty affordable and was a fountain feature would look good in that larger tub he put his in a regular patio Pond and it was awesome 😊😊

[@worldwideoptimism]

That frame you put back over the pond was once a raised bed for gardening

[@AQUAPROS]

I built it just for this pond! I could totally convert it if need be!

[@anodyne.7024]

Great video! How do you make sure the plants you buy are free of pesticides before they go in with the fish? Is that not a worry?

[@TheOriginalBrian]

Man you really need some pond friends...save your back.

[@megc5350]

I really want to get a tiny yard pod for my tiny yard !!!

What are the black things you are using for feeding rings?

Also you have inspired me to try a small 10/ 15 not sure Gallon pattio pond if i get my but in gear plan on ordering from the madaka lair want some dimonds

[@jessicawalden]

Oh as well happy mother's day to the moms in your world

[@Rednas420]

Cool and informative video! Last year I build one myself after seeing your videos but I have a question about the chlorine/chloramine. 21:19 How do I know if there is also Chloramine in our tap water? I live in Spain, in our water is I guess chlorine (you can smell it by opening the tap or shower & taste for sure) I prefer let the water stay overnight before using. I understood 'Prime' also kills ammonia, nitrite & nitrate. My plants are not surviving and growing, only anubias plants... Please help, struggle for a year already

[@AQUAPROS]

You should be able to look up your municipal water data online, like with whatever organization/company provides it to your area. They should have a spread sheet that tells you everything about your drinking water. Prime is a very popular product, but Fritz "complete" is basically the same thing and is like $10 cheaper. Might not be the case for you in Spain, but Id check it out!

[@Rednas420]

Thanks for your reply! I was checking the water details at the company website. Didn't got any clue because I'm not Spanish hahah but I will continue my search

[@kodymorland3678]

I actually recently threw in some Creeping Jenny after seeing another video of yours where you had mentioned you used it as a pond plant. I picked some up this weekend and decided to just stab holes in its nursery pot and its plain soil. I have it sitting on a rock so the soil level is just flush at the water line in my established mini pond (with the medaka newly added). I hadnt noticed any issues yet, but im curious as to why you mentioned in the video you didnt think itd work well? I was worried about murkiness originally but should i be worried about any potential fertilizers/nutrients from the greenhouse leeching etc (tho its likely just normal potting soil)?

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya I dont think it'll be an issue... I mean, as long as its not being disturbed all the time should be fine. Ill throw one of my potting soil ones in a pond and report back in a future video.

[@crawfordwice]

Have you tried any of the solar powered floating birdbath pumps/fountains. They do cover the surface some, but are kinda nice too.

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya i have one, i keep taking it out cause it moves around too much and ends up squirting water out of the ponds! 🤪🤪

[@crawfordwice]

Ya we had a similar issue with the bird bath until I removed the attachment and just let it bubble over.

[@brantonlightcap6599]

I like the lights around that pond. Are those solar, plug in, battery?

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya just solar

[@kawiman16]

You think you could do a Jenny as a floating plant? Thinking about trying it out in mine for a little shade cover

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya you can propagarte it with some of the side roots and float it!

Instead of replacing the galvanized tub if it ever does cause problems. You could just use a pond liner in it so you won't have to toss it out.

[@dnoaf]

Exact same thing I was about to tell him instead of buying any thing use pond liner it will look beautiful not some junkyard fish setup
