Thanks for the expert podcast on patio ponds

[GreenCircleGirl]

Since listening to the podcast with Ted Coletti, I purchased the book and set up two patio ponds. I just love them!! Thanks so much.

Looks pretty good! Were you thinking of putting fish in there?

Love ponds. Can't wait till I can get my 'display ponds' up and running... These ones will be loved by the family rather than the blue barrels used for fry raising.

My favourites for temperate patio ponds are Empire Gudgeons, zebra danios (A pond raised Zebra danio's colours are amazing) Ricefish and Paradise fish.

I'll have to attach a picture of my pond later

I have a few shubunkins, some rosy minnows and mosquito fish in there.

@RandyI agree with @GreenCircleGirl I miss the Aquarist Podcast. Hope there’s some future with the Coop where you get enough time to restart it! Or you could farm it out to some of the talent at the Coop!

Can anyone share a link to this podcast? Thank you.

[GreenCircleGirl]

I find it on my aquarium coop app then search for Ted Coletti on July 28, 2021.  It’s an aquarists podcast.

Here’s my patio-ish pond, it’s in my garden. Somehow some evil duckweed got in. At least it’s not frogbit.  s

I’d say that pond qualifies as heavily planted! Looks like tadpole heaven!

Thanks. Sadly I think that the chytrid fungus has hit my area so no frogs.

@Friller what do you do with your danios in the winter?  And your other fish?

I leave them in the pond. It gets to about 7 Degrees C where I live during winter.
