THE END OF THE MINI PATIO POND...

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks for watching guys! 🙏

[@Necrosias]

Thx for sharing

[@IMaqua]

You need to try rice fish next season if they are available in Netherland. They can survive low temperatures so you can leave your pond outside all year long. Plants wont survive winter but they usually regenerate in spring. Cheers MJ

[@MJAquascaping]

Already on my list!

[@HenhousetheRed]

I did a rice fish container pond this spring/summer! Great success. They are extremely hardy fish!

[@PaulZyCZ]

That sounds similar to Danube guppies, actual wild-form guppies somebody released next to an oil refinery in Slovakia. You can ask on some aquarium forum or "aquarium exchange meetup". I know there are collectors who keep such fish.

The Big Shallow is stunning 👍

[@indigenoussoul1038]

I love this video. Great work with your pond and rehoming your fish and shrimp. I'm always amazed and tormented by your videos. I continue to struggle to get my plants to grow properly, balance my tank, and scape my tanks. I will not give up. Your tanks keep me motivated to keep learning. Tired of wasting money and watching my plants melt away. Thank you for the motivation.

This pond gave me an idea for an easy guppy breeding Bucket. Been up in my room for one month now. Had 3 spawns, and a giant guppy grown out of it! Thank you for including your cat in the video. My girlfriend and I love seeing the kitty.

Im sure everyone will like their new warmer homes. The roots …..wow

[@rgilroy1909]

maybe rachel oleary can provide more info on her YT channel, but my understanding is that all lilly's have a hibernation period. they can be pulled out, wrapped in paper towels and set in a cold dry place then brought out again in the spring to sprout in the ponds

[@themisto57]

I've noticed it takes a season or 2 for the lily's to flower. Seems like they need quite a bit of mass first in order to flower. Save it and put it back out next year. You won't regret it.

🤔🤨💯as always... inspirational and for me, especially, enlightenment 💎💯

[@rickyabdullah4758]

Nice mini pond treatment

[@xXIronSwanXx]

The shallow is looking great! Please do another pond when it gets warmer!

[@geraldoyo1]

That was a beautiful mini-pond.

[@AquascapingCube]

I wasn't expecting so many shrimp to still be alive! Nice!

[@PaulZyCZ]

Neocaridina are quite resilient in some ways, if the changes are gradual.

[@AquascapingLiverpool]

Always nice to do a new one next season aswell 💪🏼 learn from this one and improve on it

[@istoppedlaughing5225]

You have thankuni plant in that big aquarium, it's a medicinal plant. Good for stomach problems

[@marienixon148]

Can't believe you did that indoors without making a mess! The big shallow is amazing. I'm off to look for the build video for it...

[@erint5373]

Fyi-good call on not keeping the pond plants where cats can get at them, lilies are EXTREMELY toxic to cats! Whilst some other types of plants might cause vomiting, gastro & breathing issues the lily is a very very toxic, even small exposure can cause internal bleeding and death. So good call! I keep seeing people put plants such as lilies, pothos and monstera plants in their aquariums and I can't figure out if these just arnt toxic to fish the way they are to cats and dogs, or if the fish just don't disturb the roots? Usually its the plant sap thats toxic) so would seep into the water column if the roots where damaged in any way..

[@stonecoldcarebear]

Hope you consider doing another min-pond project next summer. The big shallow is looking so good.

[@Populiervogel]

Toch een mooie tub geworden, planten zijn mooi geworden, toevallig gisteren die van mij leeg gemaakt, ik had er Kohaku zwaarddragers in, die werden ook wat sloom, tijd om ze binnen te halen, komt al weer nachtvorst aan. Wilde ooit Medakas (Japanse rijstvisjes) maar die zijn moeilijk te krijgen in Nederland, 30 eieren gekocht kwamen er maar 8 van uit en werden nooit volwassen.

[@smaily1412]

Those pond plants, most of them would survive in that "bucket" over winter ;) and could be replanted in spring again ;) as it seems to be successful project, I hope, we see something similar in spring again ;)

[@williammcdowell6257]

Especially if put in a sheltered spot, a sheet of plastic placed over a bucket works well - with some ventilation under of course.

[@adrianradu2332]

Mark, I would really appreciate it if you could share a list of all the plants you used in the big shallow on the emersed section. I absolutely love how they look and I am growing crazy for emersed tanks lately. How did you set them up? Did you use any "soil" analogue on the wood, like sphagnum moss?

[@adrianradu2332]

That's a lot of fish for the 70L :D

[@MJAquascaping]

A little bit overstocked currently 😅

[@adrianradu2332]

@@MJAquascaping Shouldn't be an issue if there isn't wasted food and the filtration is good.

[@hendrik5093]

I have also an helvola lily in my tank (should be the same kind like yours) and it does very well. Maybe yours will grow big enough to cut in half until next year pond season starts.

[@Ryan0Gray]

I have some beautiful japanese medaka that live in stone flower pots on my porch year round. I live in Coastal New England and get storms of multiple feet sometimes and they're fine

[@PaulZyCZ]

I don't know whether it's possible with Endlers, but wild forms of Poecilia reticulata are often found in places where the water temperature drops to some 7 ˚C - 10 ˚C. Such was the case with Danube guppies, which lived near an oil refinery's water treatment plant in Bratislava, Slovakia. But similar to fancy goldfish, I would expect lot of dead fish if one tried to breed that trait into fancy guppies.

[@sewo87]

I heard lillies dont bloom if more then 1 meter (3 feet) deep and kinda the same level you need for fish in winter to survive i was told because freezing water. Im try to insulate mine with styrostuff. I just have accidental snakes and Shrimps so far. Thinking about the guppies

[@LasVegasOutsider]

Curious if you could have added an aquarium heater instead deconstructing it.

[@istoppedlaughing5225]

Is there a video on that tank where you put the baby guppies??

[@easybettas]

Why not replace the guppies with white cloud minnows or just a goldfish or two? The plants would have struggled in winter though.. :)

[@valiaudet3415]

I would have had to place the large plant section and placed it in water. Im always fearful of getting fish in the plants I pull.

[@diamonddallas5859]

becareful putting pond plants in your main aquarium. Had some bugs get in my tank that way.

[@RoyTheeNorwegian]

Since I heard "Don't want to buy a new one next year(Lilly)" I'm expecting a DIY well-looking structure with a roof to shelter it from the elements and a heater to keep it going the rest of the year with heated water

[@rgilroy1909]

huge fan of your show. I've noticed the girlfriend has been mentioned a lot in the last few videos, why not ask her to do a video with you? Us lonely fish geeks always need someone in our lives who we can share our passions with

[@taco2422]

rip mini patio pond , u will be dearly missed :)

[@tomelliottguitartutor1325]

What is the name of the tall plant?

[@jacktinga3581]

What a shame…..

[@almahiislam3424]

What!!!!!!🤨
