BTL Lake Liner (PPL-24) BTL provides custom liners for applications from oil wells on the north slope of Alaska to koi ponds in a backyard in Taipei Taiwan. From a golf course in Kuwait to a decorative stream in Haiti they have the right product, expertise and services to handle any project big or small. 100% made in the USA, their PPL® has a worldwide reputation for Strength-Commitment- Guaranteed Containment. BTL is a worldwide supplier and fabricator of liners for water and waste containment. Their proprietary PPL® liner range in thickness from 12 -36 mils and is the strongest, most cost effective RPE (reinforced polyethylene) available in their industry today. Unlike PVC liners or EPDM liners, polyethylene liners are inert and provide superior UV and chemical resistance for plant and fish safe applications and typically require no soil cover. Pondscape uses PPL-24 and we personally advocate the use of this Lake Liner for ponds of all sizes. You can buy it from us or directly from BTL -- the price is going to be the same either way :)      Play all 36 videos Play all(36)
Our Pond & Garden If you want us to build a pond for you (or are planning on building one yourself) then our pond should give you a very good idea as to exactly what is involved and how it can look. Our examples are especially nice for those who do not have a lot of yard space and want to make the best of what they've got without over crowding. Our backyard is a typical Chicago plot. Not very big at all. Though there are some pond and garden cosmetics to make your yard at least trick your eyes into thinking you have more space than you actually do.      Play all 107 videos Play all(107)

Convict Chichlids (Pond Sized) The Convict cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) is a species of fish from the family Cichlidae, native to Central America, also known as the zebra cichlid. Convict cichlids are popular aquarium fish and have also been the subject of numerous studies on fish behaviour. In natural habitats, the species feeds on crustaceans, small fish, insects, various worms, plants and algae. In 2007, the species was moved from the genus Archocentrus to a new genus, Amatitlania based on a study of Archocentus species by Juan Schmitter-Soto. However, a 2008 study led by Oldrich Rican has suggested that all the species in Cryptoheros and Amatitlania, including Amatitlania nigrofasciata, should be moved into the genus Hypsophrys. A number of synonyms exist for this species including: Archocentrus nigrofasciatus, Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum, Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus and Heros nigrofasciatus. Convict cichlids are endemic to the lakes and streams of Central America. In particular, the species occurs along the eastern coast of Central America from Guatemala to Costa Rica, and on the western coast from Honduras to Panama. Convict cichlids prefer moving water, and are most frequently found in habitats with cover in the form of rocks or sunken branches. Convict cichlids are relatively tolerant of cool water, an ability which has allowed the species to colonise volcanic lakes at elevations of 1500 m (4920 feet). At four natural habitats of the convict cichlid in Costa Rica, the pH was found to range from 6.6 - 7.8, while alkalinity ranged from 63 to 77 ppm CaCO3. The daily water temperature ranged from 26-29 °C (79-84 °F). The species also occurs outside its natural range in Australia: in the warm effluent of power stations in Victoria, and in tropical Queensland. In addition to Australia, the species has been introduced to Réunion, Japan, Mexico, and the USA. Convict cichlids are easily maintained and bred in aquariums. The aquarium should be decorated to mimic the natural environment and should include rocks and artificial caves for breeding. The species is an unfussy omnivore and most types of prepared fish foods are readily accepted. The species will also consume aquarium plants. Convict Cichlids are aggressively territorial during breeding and pairs are best kept alone in suitably sized aquariums. It has been suggested that brood care is reduced in aquarium strains. Due to the tendency of the species to dig, external filtration is recommended over undergravel filter systems. The relatively small size of this species, along with ease of keeping and breeding, make the convict an ideal cichlid for beginners and advanced aquarists alike interested in observing pair bonds and brood care in the aquarium. In very large environments, these fish tend to grow rather large, their body and fin structures become more elaborate and their gray-ish color turns into more of a neon purplish-blue. When understanding the psychology of these fish, they can be made to co-exist with things such as guppies, sword tails and other fish that they would normally hunt down and kill. Doing this is not recommended unless you already know what the hell you're doing :)      Play all 45 videos Play all(45)
Goldfish (Pond Size) Goldfish are a NORTHERN FRESH WATER FISH which can also survive in tropical areas just as well as it can extremely cold environments. The goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is still one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish. A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the koi carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is a domesticated version of a dark-gray/olive/brown carp native to east Asia (first domesticated in China) that was introduced to Europe in the late 17th century. The mutation that gave rise to the goldfish is also known from other cyprinid species, such as common carp and tench. Selective breeding over centuries has produced several color variations, some of them far removed from the "golden" color of the originally domesticated fish. There are also different body shapes, fin and eye configurations. Some extreme versions of the goldfish do need to be kept in an aquarium—they are much less hardy than varieties closer to the "wild" original. However, some variations are hardier, such as the Shubunkin. The main varieties are Common Goldfish, Black Moor, Bubble Eye, Celestial Eye Goldfish, Comet-Tailed Goldfish, Fantail, Lionhead, Oranda, Pearlscale, Pompoms, Ryukin, Shubunkins, Demekin, Ranchu, Panda Moor & Veiltail. Ours are somewhere between Common and Fantail -- with large "forked" tails, flowing fins and an array of various colors. Goldfish do a great job cleaning up a tank but they produce a high level of PH so you need either a really good filter and / or constant water changes -- especially if you're going to have these in a tank.      Play all 76 videos Play all(76)

Velvet Red Sword Tails Velvet Red Swordtails are TROPICAL FRESH WATER FISH (Xiphophorus hellerii in family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes). A live-bearer, it is closely related to the southern platyfish or "platy" (X. maculatus) and can interbreed with it. It is native to an area of North and Central America stretching from Veracruz, Mexico, to northwestern Honduras.      Play all 26 videos Play all(26)
Show Guppies Show Guppies are a FRESH WATER TROPICAL FISH. They only differ from regular guppies by being more colorful, beautiful, larger, more healthy and with more elaborate fin structures and cosmetic traits -- due to the careful intervention of humans. No chemicals or other harmful elements are used in producing show guppies. (Poecilia reticulata), also known as the millionfish, is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species in the world. It is a small member of the Poeciliidae family (females 46 centimeters (1.62.4 in) long, males 2.53.5 centimeters (1.01.4 in) long) and like all other members of the family, is live-bearing. Guppies are native to Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Brazil, East Timor, Guyana, Mayotte, Netherlands Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Venezuela, and Vietnam. However, guppies have been introduced to many different countries on all continents, except Antarctica. Sometimes this has occurred accidentally, but most often as a means of mosquito control, the hope being that the guppies would eat the mosquito larvae slowing down the spread of malaria.      Play all 46 videos Play all(46)
Fish & Stock (2012 - 2013) Not suited to all tastes, please use discernment prior to watching. Music, Art and Video by: Time Warrior, Snowflake, Desiree Van Heel, Julia Nunes and Lauren O'Connel. The first delivery of 2012 was appropriately to our best client, Ocean Design Aquarium. We love dealing with him and he especially does not mind it that we make insane videos using his store front which are laced with slight hints of amusing profanity and political incorrectness of assorted varieties. In todays episode, Walter Kelso gets horny and molests some fish. Dave Kelso sings about how the world is not going to end and how 2012 is merely the "end of the world as we know it". We do insane crazy stuff, get into discussions of Nostradamus Guppies, the Galactic Alignment, Geopolitics, the formal system of education being nothing more than fascist nazi propaganda entrainment camp and lots of other cool stuff! There is even a quick guest appearance from THE FENCE WITCH!!! :D You also get to see a little bit of an advanced preview from our documentary about how to build an in door pond, which has been taking for-fucking-ever but we've made a lot of really awesome progress, so THANK YOU for your patience! :) CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE: Ocean Design Aquarium is in Chicago, IL USA.
