Low Budget Mini Pond in the Garden for Guppies

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

This is my mothers garden at my hometown. I am currently on a holiday here and thought of making another pond for her. She likes keeping fish ponds in our small garden. This was a very low cost built and I mostly used materials that were lying around. Even the guppy fishes were taken from another pond that we have here. In total I think it would not cost more than INR 800-1000 or about USD 10-12$. If you have access to an old tub, some soil, sand and plant cuttings it might work out even cheaper.

Walstad method pond . You have done a lot with very little here. Very nicely produced video , as always .

[@hardystein114]

I like your mother`s garden . It has that really nice , calming vibe , like most well established gardens do . Maybe one day you could make a short video catching some of the best scenes of her garden .It does look really nice . 🪴🌴🌱🌷☘❇

That is great! But how would you clean it? Is there a filter or something?

I'm starting to love guppies. Too bad I don't have room for another aquarium

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

I love them too. You can always set up tubs and rehome later.

Hello, I watch your videos with pleasure and admiration, but I have a question, don't the fish die or get sick (white spot disease, etc.) in winter, when the weather is cold?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Use heater in winter or bring setup indoors. Guppies are tolerant of temperature fluctuations to some extend.

[@Ikbikbvm]

Doesn't water quality get degraded due to sunlight like mine turns yellowish plus algae growth is insane ...

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Should be away from direct sunlight. Heavy planting and lots of floaters to filter out light. Emerged plants to draw out unused nutrients. Regular water changes. More info on care and maintenance here kzbin.info/www/bejne/boGtq2iDrb-BY7Msi=rZi2tJqzX1X94d6Y

[@Fairwollow]

It looks so cute and so creative! But, you might have to worry about mosquitoes laying eggs there since the water is stagnant

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. Guppies feed on mosquito larvae to keep ecosystem free of infestation.

[@deeppart233]

Did you know he added fish in to the stagnant water? If not watch again 😅

[@deb5110]

It's foood

[@jeromeostria9098]

[@rsreyas3860]

will the aquatic plants survive without any co2 or fertilizers?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Low demand aquatic plants do not need Co2.

[@deepasampathkumar]

A transparent bucket, will it work with one?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes

[@irobot992]

What is the source of your aquatic plants? Those which were in tiny plastic cups?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Local aquarium stores

[@deeppart233]

@ thank you 🙏🏽

[@active.got.friends]

From where can I get these plants ?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Aquatic from Aquarium stores and terrestrial from plant nurseries

[@kalpeshpipalva2270]

[@philippariat3793]

What about water filtration any tips plz

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

In a Walstad setup like this plants aid in filtration. Planting must be heavy.
