Atitagain Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 110G tub This is my first outside tub, it’s been so interesting seeing the differences from inside and outside fish/ plant keeping. Main goal of this tub is learning what I can about ponds/ tubs and do better next year. Also a big goal is breeding fish and shrimp. I have started with 8 White Cloud Mountain Minnows all 6-8 months old, 10-15 guppies ages 2 day olds to 8-10 weeks old, 20 ish cherry shrimp juveniles to a couple full grown M/F, and some pond snails. Not doing much of anything as far as maintenance (adding plants is all), been letting rain water do top offs, and feeding daily. I have 1 large aquarium co-op sponge filter, a small water level sponge filter, and a small fountain running constantly. First days⬇️ 1 month-ish ⬇️ Fountain and backgound ducks/ geese ⬇️ As it sits today ⬇️ 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 @Atitagain did you build something for those planters to sit on? It looks like one is floating. Very 😎 cool. That is a gorgeous setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atitagain Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 @Guppysnail thank you so much, it’s been fun so far. The plants in the black pot that is center is sitting on a pot that is a couple inches bigger turned upside down plenty of holes drilled for fish/ invertebrates. The plants in the front group are in a floating pot also have another floating pot to the right of the center pot but it’s hidden by the plants, I got them from a local nursery they have worked out great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 This the second full summer with this tub. Last year I bred mollys in it, but at the end of the season I put 2 fantail goldfish in it. Figured they could over winter in the tub, grow a little bit, and I could sell them in the spring. Not so much. My wife really likes the goldfish, so i added a few more, plus some white clouds. I also learned that if you bend the stems of you Papyrus plants, the little poofy part will propagate. Gotta love free plants. the tub attracts all sorts of living things. I feel like I've over-shared these pictures, If so, sorry. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Burke Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 @Chick-In-Of-TheSea he lost a lot of his color over the years. It’s supposed to be a festive frog planter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
