Pond Cleaning Tutorial

[TheDurationPlusFive]

I think I used to have that watch o__o

[visualkeirockstar]

I think a pond should never be cleaned, all I do is add water, I let the filter and plants do the work, my pond is full of life that I don't even feed the fish, they are all alive happy and healthy

[prakhar1999]

Its Fast But................Not The Correct Way

[miteshpatel1]

Also this is not suitable for outdoor fish a kiddie pool, they are bound to die, if you got the space build a bigger pond, research of how to build a pond is what you need to do first, this is highly dangerous for the fishes, they need a huge amount of space as they grow over the years depending on maintainace....

[miteshpatel1]

Never do you mix tropical fish, with outdoor pond fish the tropical die easily in ponds that's why they are called tropical fish to live in tanks not ponds, secondly it's very dangerous draining water out, whilst fishes are still in the pond, its wise to put them in a bucket for time being, whist you drain the dirty water out, it's easy to do with a water hose, just simply put the hose in the pond, fill up with water for 20mins then unplug from outdoor water tap and leave end of hose near a dra

@miteshpatel1 i know thats ur opinion but stop trollin:/ hes just putting a video on the internet to show people okay

[SirBlackoulis]

I do not want to be critical,but they all have a point

no tropical big fin fish with goldfish,use the chemical cleaner before you pour the water,and not with fish in the pond,use some gravel..

Good idea as for the cost part to use the pool,the music was also good...mixing was bad...

[maddybee333]

ummm you didnt include the filter and pump into your costing in the first video....how much did they cost? hmmm

[mickelsk8er]

should put gravel... it would look alot better

[dennisrayso]

careful with that Rolex watch

[fluxant]

you put a tropical fish in with gold fish , doh

[fluxant]

well done , so many mistakes in one video award goes to you.

[smoke755]

i realy don't like it.

first of all youre taking away all the water in the pond (instead of max 10%)

then you fill it up with with new water and try to get that neutral with some chemicals???

and then you put bettas in a pond with carp ( koi and gold fish ) ??? was his tale still ok after 30 min?

don't you think that youre koi needs some space and depth?

and as last it doesn't look great, but thats my opinion.

i think you realy need to read about fish and ponds cause you need it.

[christownshendtv]

@smoke755 i know thats ur opinion but stop trollin

[heroangelo12345]

cool innovative pond...

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

well dude i'm not gonna lie like the other people said it dosn't look that great but i have a kiddie pool pond too but mine you can't tell teh diffrence when you do a water change don't take that much out, and like add the chemical before adding water

[lostrowvaj]

i dont think it  was a good idea to put the Betta in there also if you just bought the Betta it wasn't a good idea to pour those water into your pond.

[fralora]

i've got to agree w/ @lostrowvaj, cos u run the risk of infecting your whole pond with any disease that's present in the water from the shop. should have quarantined the bettas first. Culture bacteria too.., so that they can convert ammonia into nitrate. and only change 10% of water so not to disrupt the bacteria colonies. All in all, great idea with the pond :-)

[Boslee2009]

Im going to do tis kiddy pool in the summer 2010!!!!!!!!!!!

[bebexvi3t143]

i think thats kinda stupid. no offence or anything but putting bettas in there is NOT a good idea because what do the bettas eat and when they breed, the eggs will just die because it doesnt have a heater

[12MTG]

@bebexvi3t143 in malaysia weather is hot&sunny...we need no heater dude..

[break30000]

how many gallons is ur baby pool pond? what kind of filter did u buy? do u use oxygen pump ? or 2 in 1 - over head filter and oxygen? and in the 1st video u have big koi fish but in the cleaning tutorial u dont have.. instead it became smaller fish? what happen to those larger fish one?

[12MTG]

@break30000

Gallons..i dont know.. my pond estimate 1.5 meter across depth about 1 feet high.. filtercome with oxygen pump..made in china..my larger fish i sell to my friend..hahaa

[Boslee2009]

@12MTG How much was the large koi cost?

[12MTG]

@Boslee2009 : RM3.5 or 1 Usd each by the time i buy..

[Boslee2009]

whats all your song called?

[HOTEL56784]

not even a great idea, looks ugly, and it just looks as if the guys doesn't want to get his hands wet(yes i know he's holding the camera)

[chengaun]

No Offence But Its Kinda Ugly. Although Great Idea!

[DMAXMANIAK]

that a pool wit fish in it!!!! deam how ppl is so dumb.. buy a pump atleast to pump out water and not just push it down riskin you own fish to hurt themselves on the concret!!

[edwrdle]

hi?! may i ask what kind of filter do u use? please tell me ur filter name or the infomation..thx

[chengaun]

He uses an Aquarium Top Filter.

[meocon22]

Once you add plants into your pond, I think you don't need to change water too much like you did in this video

[meocon22]

I have that kiddie pool which is about 500 gallons keeps some koi and rosy minnows but I dont change water frequently as you do. I leave it for mother nature to take care. Mine is about 3 years now and fishs are very happy.

[hiddenThecakeisalie]

A kiddie pool? like, a inflatable pool for kids?

[meocon22]

It is like the pool in the video.

[blyster03]

did u breed ur bettas? and what types of plants r those?

[mangothao]

good idea your just like me we think a like save more money

[eliluong]

are the fish cool with chlorinated/mineralized tap water? or is your water different?

[hiddenThecakeisalie]

No. Cchlorinated water is deadly to fish. Same as Mineralized water

[12MTG]

that wuy i put anticlorine into the pond...to naturalize the waterr

[Radnally]

I've made container fish ponds with terracota pots. Used small goldfish, plants and aquatic snails. It needed no filtration system and the fish ate mostly what nature put in the pond. I had it for 2 years and sold the house with it still working well. Just added water every few days. It's a natural environment and if well balanced, does not need a lot of human intervention to function well.

[SanMarin]

oh.. and could you give me the name of the song dude??

[12MTG]

song from final fantasy X game Suketi Da Ne

[SanMarin]

dude... you've inspired me... i guess i'll do it the same way.. I'll just try to place there a filter...

could you tell me where can i buy koi fishes? and how expensive they are?

thnks

[Venrellin]

lol

[quackatoofilms]

do the goldfish ever attack or harras the bettas because ive heard that that can happen or does the large male betta ever harras any of the small goldfish ???

[12MTG]

in my case no..at least we dont feed them well..XD

[edwrdle]

Thank for sharing...i learn a lot.how tall ur pond and how long?

[12MTG]

until now the pond nearly two years..! so here the stat: 14 inch in depth, 1.5 meter in diameter..

[edwrdle]

THX! I have brought the same one(baby bath pool) as urs, BUT the wall is different, it's plastic wall...no goood..I LOVE ur pool's wall, it's not easy 2 break..

[king4wheel]

how long did you wait before changing the water? and do you have baby betas yet? and do you ever take out any of the plants when it covers over

[12MTG]

water change within 2 month..and the plant regularly in once a week..

[buttcrack360]

Calico Shubunkin Goldfish nvm i didnt got kois i got this instead oh ummm yea ill post pix on photo bucket and send it to u profile on youtube

[buttcrack360]

do u want me to post videos of it for u so u can help plzz ty

[12MTG]

if u can do that.. its better to me understand wat really going on..

[buttcrack360]

tips and pointer plzzz ty umm my bro told me that plants will replace air bubbles thingy so they wont have to rise to the sufrace every minute

[12MTG]

i dont think the plant can replace air bubble, but im sure those plant will make better inviroment for my fish, some of my fish, like koi eat those plant..also those plant will absord poisonouse molecul in the water..making water ordourless.. & also, in sunny day, those plant will cooling water tempreture..

[buttcrack360]

wat do i feed them and their all bout longer then or as the same height as your thumb they are hiding and swimming all aorund in the pads yea the bettas r like your female and male wat do u think i should do next day plzzz im 15 years old and have budget of 20 doolars lol ty i need help

[12MTG]

of course they are hiding becoz they dont like open surface..the reason why i leave my plant grow..also they don like moving water..female&male battas actually cannot live in the same pond for long period bcoz male bettas will kill female after intercouse..that wat i learn la..

[buttcrack360]

ok i got questions ok i am to poor for filter but i have a fish tank outside my backyard like 60 gallons so for i got lily pads from the temple next to my house its been in the tank for a day today i bought two bettas a tadpole and a koi today the doing find.

[12MTG]

this two bettas no need for water filter, but koi. really need that!.. without filter, u must change water manually every 2-3 day..if not yur koi will die in a month..

[Koshy2]

Some activated carbon would help keep the water clear and odorless for longer periods, big improvement over your first video though.

You may want to consider only changing 20% of the water or so on a weekly basis, instead of a full change as well, to help promote a more stable environment for the fish.

[12MTG]

activated carbon..? wat's that..?

[N0zProductions]

is that your first pond cause mine was the same as that but all i had was ghost koi

[12MTG]

yes my first..maybe my last also..:D

[N0zProductions]

why do u say that maybee my last

[12MTG]

my last..coz im looking 4 bigger pond after this.

[12MTG]

mean,last of that kind..that only trial of mine..luckyly i success, so no need to create another babybath pool..so next time, i aim to create bigger pond using other material..

[hotcloak]

y the bettas? cause there pretty?

[aka2016]

did you buy all of thoghs plants???

[12MTG]

No, i got 3plant(kiaambang) from my friend..after afew month, kiambang will grow like you see..plz see my first video..tq!
