Goldfish Pond Construction

this is great! but how did you install a filter? this is the only part stopping me from making my own.

[Theodopholus]

@IsItRuddorRoach Thanks! We ran the hose, that goes to the water fall, through a plastic container filled with plastic dish washing scrubbies. You have to clean it out almost weekly but it works. We keep the container in the pond under the water. The pond plants hide it.

Nice Work!

@tjs6088 Thanks! .

So do the fish survive the winter?

[Theodopholus]

@TheRuss70 Yes they do. The pond is a couple of feet deep at it's deepest. As long as it doesn't freeze solid they are ok. Generally anything deeper than 18inches is good for Missouri.

aw I wish I can have outdoor fish but the blue herons will eat them :<

[Theodopholus]

@Feonalilly We have lost some fish to what we think might be Herons. This pond now has netting over it.

what size liner did you use? - thanks!

[Theodopholus]

@MadreRaven It was a gift so I don't remember exactly. I think it was 15' X 15'.

wow out of all the youtube ponds mine looks the ugliest pond ever

[vangl34]

Cool pond but isn't that a little too shallow? Easy access for the little critters I mean.

Keep it up!

Exelente , but that pond need a filter and aeration

[donkel13]

hi i am having a goldfish pond for christmas and what would you recommend for me to feed them. what type of food should i feed them. thanks

[Theodopholus]

We get whatever fish food Walmart carries. Any pet store should be able to help.

[Theodopholus]

Just look online search pond liner. I don't remember which company we used but I searched a lot of them and went with the best deal.

[Chowy1000]

[numbuh124]

wow damn :]

[sexwizard]

Thats really nice looking. At first I was wondering, what about all that plastic?! But then it was covered with the stones, and I was like, "Ahhh!"

[TheFishDude2613]

looks good

[Theodopholus]

Thanks!

[sajeevan1]

how many gallons is that

[Theodopholus]

about 1700 gallons give or take

[sajeevan1]

cool i dont know what u mean about give or take so all u need to make a pond is a hole and pondliner right

[Theodopholus]

give or take means a little more or a little less.and yes pretty much all you need is a hole and a liner. You need a pump for water circulation and a filter to help keep it clean too.
