BriannesFishFam Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Summer Tub Not very pretty but we have bent pvc to support the fish net and tarp. Fish net so no bears and such get in we are in the Adirondacks. Tarp for warmth with the cold and hot days we have. Styrofoam holding pothos. Then some water hyacinth and water lettuce. We have some white clouds and giant longfin danios in there and a shrimp. First year summer tubbing so go easy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_ Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I am going to share my tub here even though it was destroyed by an animal (probably a raccoon trying to eat the fish) last Friday just as all the plants were peaking. The tub is a Tuff Stuff 40 gal stock tank that I started in early May with a heater as my first tub. I have always wanted a pond but live in a townhouse so this tub is perfect. The tub’s function is to bring the water element to the backyard featuring the plants and fish. The plants are the only filtration and there is no air to allow for a much cooler temperature at the bottom of the tub under the cover of the plants. The plants get full sun in the morning with afternoon shade. The fish are a breeding colony of guppies at a relatively low stocking level. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Here is one side of my pool that has angelfish, ricefish, wild swordtails, and many others, including a gigantic glob of anacharis/elodea. The other side has duckweed. 🙂 5 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siett88 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) @Danielwas that originally a swimming pool or was it something you had done specifically for fish? The wife and I are looking at houses right now, and every time there's a pool I say "that would make a decent koi pond". Looks amazing either way.

This is my urban oasis, with ricefish in a 75 gallon tote I wrapped in wood, a ton of guppy grass, a water hyacinth and water lettuce I hope to grow out. I'm thinking of adding longfin white clouds, as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
