2021 Summer Mini Ponds Stocked

[Fish Folk]

Just brought guppies outdoors to back porch mini ponds.
 

We’re going with “Mutt Guppies,” “Firecracker Guppies,” and “Albino Red Guppies.”

Plants are very basic and (fry) functional: Duckweed, Water Lettuce, and Hornwort.

One large sponge filter in each mini pond, plus an additional Ziss Air Stone. The added air stone is helpful, because warm temperatures mean less dissolved gasses. 

Temperatures really swing: 60-degrees F over night, 90-degrees F afternoons. Feed once a day until ample fry appear, after which another 2nd feeding for fry is added.

Here’s a peek...

So jealous--next year I will have a YARD! I am ridiculously excited, and can NOT wait.

(Hang on to those long finned golden white clouds just a tiny bit longer @WhitecloudDynasty, I am almost there, tank space in 3... 2...)

Hey, if you have jumped the first few painful years, happy to work with you to expand the line, cull hard, and do back crosses to the parental strains.

I have "cull" that carry both gene you can play with...they aren't bad but they need to be cross out and cross back in to clean them up
