This is our 3-month update of our patio pond. Since its creation, the weather has improved and the plants have bloomed! We have added 4 small goldfish to the pond, which have grown so much in the last month to ensure the health of the fish, we do a weekly 30% water change and our filter-UV combo is rated for a MUCH larger pond. They seem extremely happy, are growing and are enjoying themselves!
In addition, we have added the mixed pond plant rested on-top of some large stones bridged with a slate slab. The slab gives a lot of hidden coverage for the fish and also an excellent platform for the plant.
One of the most rewarding parts of the patio pond has been the draw of native wildlife. Honey bees are constantly coming to the pond to drink, we have on average 3 or 4 bees that stay for a minute before moving on and this goes on all day from around 11am till 6pm! Quite a tremendous amount of honey bees when you tot it all up!

Love this! Can't get enough of water ponds, pots, etc....🙂

This is a beautiful patio pond. When I do mine I can only hope to have it be something like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@RazzyRyan]

Thank you that's very kind! It has survived well over winter (-10'C at times!) and the lily pads are on their way back up again. If you make a video please feel free to send me a link, I love seeing different versions.

[@mahiko1961]

[@RazzyRyan]

[@shaunkilcourse8097]

Wow this video I brilliant and the music is on wim hofs video this is a really good meditation video aswell

[@RazzyRyan]

Thank you Shaun! I should we recreating it again soon in the UK as i've moved from Germany. Hope it do a good job again as I loved this version of the patio pond.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Nice job. Patio ponds and small ponds can be so cool. You have yours well planted and everything looks healthy. I like looking at other peoples ponds. I have 4 koi ponds surrounded by decking that we built ourselves. If you want to take a look that's great. If not that's ok too. Take care and thanks for posting.

[@RazzyRyan]

Thank you! I will definitely check out your videos, I've always wanted a much larger pond but we cant at the moment. Stay safe :)!

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

@@RazzyRyan Thanks you as well

[@SparksEli]

Ain’t that coo

[@tgulley6753]

Beautiful! What is the diameter and depth of your pot, what size should one get for this project? Please advise. Thanks!

[@RazzyRyan]

Hey T Gulley, thank you for the feedback! This pot is 80x80x30cm, and it's a good size for the plants and as a water feature in general. I wouldn't go any smaller than this, to be honest. This pot isn't too small, as it definitely has a presence but it fits comfortably in one corner, it is also easy to maintain at this size. We have a few small fish in the pond too which are doing well, but we bought a very powerful filter and UV light combo which does take up some space but keeps the water crystal clear (plus weekly water changes).

[@carltonbirds]

Very lovely and beautiful, how often do you have to do a water change

[@vly9497]

This is also similar set up to mine too and I have 4 fishes. Looks nice. I'm just wondering how water is so high up do you have drainage incase it rains?

[@RazzyRyan]

Sorry for the delay, we just let the water run over the side when it overfills, its how i do the water change as well.

[@Flylikea]

❤❤❤❤

[@MissChelle]

Love it! Those curly leaves are awesome, do you know what they are called? (The spaghetti zig zag ones). Hoping to see how you made it, going to check out your channel now. ❤️🇦🇺

[@RazzyRyan]

Gosh I dont actually know what theyre called but they grow so well! I should be doing a new video soon to recreate the the patio pond as i've moved country.

[@benbray4]

Do you have a link to the pond please? Is this one of the ponds with a shelf on one side? Thank you for posting!

[@edwinrijkee]

Looks nice 🙂 Can you distinguish between each individual fish? 😅

[@RazzyRyan]

Sadly not! Chilli has lighter patches on its head and is more confident than the rest and Ethel tends to just chill solo away from the other three, whilst I assume that’s the same fish it probably isn’t haha!

[@TheChronicoles]

Would you please link us to the filter/uv combo? I’m new to outdoor ponds and just set mine up yesterday.

[@RazzyRyan]

Nicole Aganon hey thank you for watching! We bought this one: www.obi.de/teichpumpen-filter/heissner-unterwasserfilter-set-smartline-fa-1000-uv-fuer-teiche-bis-3-000-l/p/1307370

[@KifKroker]

Looks nice, do the fish survive a cold winter ?

[@RazzyRyan]

Hello Svenn, they did. We had below -10'c night in which the top later would freeze over night. I put warm water on top of the ice and melted it in the morning and evening though, i didn't fully leave it as I was concerned it would fully freeze.

[@KifKroker]

@@RazzyRyan oh, that's great to hear ! I'm hoping to build something similar, thanks ! Super nice build !

[@jimmystevens3754]

Hi, Im trying to find this pond bowl. I was looking on the teraplast websight but cant locate, Ty so much!

[@RazzyRyan]

Hi Jimmy, it looks like it may no longer be stocked sadly, unless you can find some older stock in a garden centre maybe? the nearest versions are their BOLD collection but i havent seen them in person: www.teraplast.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Linea_Bold_Catalogo_Teraplast-2023.pdf

[@hwei_89]

Nice pond. but won't the fish slip away through the edge?

[@RazzyRyan]

Hey Hong, really good question. The fish haven't slipped off the edge as they stay lower than the top of the water. However, during spawning season one of the fish was pushed out of the pond as all the males chase the female around which was super sad! Otherwise, the remaining fish are doing good.

[@robertragan4285]

Could you do other species of fish?

[@RazzyRyan]

Hey Robert, I am setting up a new one soon and plan to use mosquito fish (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquitofish). I have had to transfer the gold fish to a larger tank, they didn't stop growing haha!

[@caveman8129]

How do u keep it from not overflowing

[@RazzyRyan]

If it rains heavily then it might overflow slightly, but theres evaporation occuring at the same time so more often in spring or summer, i need to top it up :)

[@caveman8129]

Will the fish escape?

[@caveman8129]

What is the thing in the middle😊

[@RazzyRyan]

The device? thats the pump with a Uv filter light inside of it, or do you mean something else?

[@caveman8129]

Thx for telling me

[@caveman8129]

Do u need a filter?

पानी थोड़ा कम रखें
