I am
Me! I have a 27G patio pond that I built for less than $80 including fish and plants! I've got longfin gold and leopard danios, a rescued red-tailed shark, albino gold mystery snails, water hyacinth (and some "pest" snails they brought with them), aponogeton, water onion, duckweed, anubias, java windelov, and anacharis. I have a sponge filter, and a little shelf I made into a trickling waterfall too. I found the liner that you suggested at home depot, and I think I'm going to get one, since I like the round shape better, and I'm using a rectangular container.
AQUAPROS put some Molly's
Guppys or danios
I've got a 200 gal, in-ground pond with a waterfall - I love all of the wildlife it brings to my yard.
I believe I have found the right size pond for my mancave.
Bromley's Aquatic Life smell will always be a factor don’t forget. Maybe if you had a nice mistifier air freshener it would work
Man i haven't heard the word mancave in years
A manpond perhaps???
👏ManPond™👏
PSH are you kidding?! Those ledges are a GODSEND. You can put potted plants on them and grow some crazy Amazon swords or other plants, along with plants that grow into the water to provide cover for your fish!
YASSSSS WORKKKKK SLAY IT
Give me an update on the pond or I will sue.
Marty Lynchian u can't sue for that reason I think
@@reaneor_lorra_uwu9276 I think it's a joke
r/woooosh
@@reaneor_lorra_uwu9276 😑
your mind is cute. are you single or do you have like minded brother who is single?. m
Large clay pots were cheaper than plastic ponds, so I got a 80ltr one and painted it with pond paint. It's got goldfish and plants in it.
how did you seal the hole in the bottom?
walks onhoney FLEX SEAL
How many goldfish? Hope not more than two in just 80ltr. Goldies need a lot of space
I don't know where you live but im my area such a pond would completely freeze to the bottom in winter :p
walks onhoney I had an acrylic off cut and siliconed it over the hole.
I dig it! Got me wanting to do my own outdoor pond again, now.
HECK YEAHHHHH :)
I loved this so much. I wish I could have a pond, but every time we try, the neighborhood raccoons destroy it. Doesn't matter where we put it, what's in it... They annihilated everything,every time. So no ponds for us. I'll have to live that pond life vicariously through you 🤣
Savanna The Aqua Llama
1. Get a cage
2. Catch raccoon
3. Get a pond
4. Enjoy pond
aguyandhiscomputer
1. Get a cage
2. Get at least 29 more cages because there's a horde of them.
3. Catch them and figure out where to put them
4. Build pond and enjoy.
LOL. There's too many, it's illegal to kill them because they're not a threat. They don't carry rabies here and are, somehow, fairly friendly. Anywho, as much as I'd like a pond, it's not going to happen at this particular house. I could never hurt a raccoon anyway, they're just doing as they do. It's also illegal to trap and release them elsewhere lol.
Glee
Savanna The Aqua Llama that really sucks
I guess you could put a cage around the pond if you get a small one?
I love the little frog pot ;-; . Oh! How about adding some solar power lights next to the pond ? We have some in our ponds and have it to were u can see them at night but they still have places to hide from the light .
"Idk why Im kicking this around" *proceeds to kick it*
This is super cool! I want to do a smaller one like this. I recycled a broken kiddie pool and put pond liner in it, and dug it in in the backyard and recently had tadpoles turn to frogs! I posted a quick video of it if yall wanna see!
I do
We had a 2’ x 6’ x 3’ deep metal stock tank in the ground fish pond just off our back deck for 11 years. We had water lilies and arrow plant potted in the base of tank and a rush plant on top of 2 cement blocks on one end. Also had floating plants. Originally added 8 3” gold fish that later multiplied to 14 over time. We put in a filter system on the outside of pond with a waterfall entry to run during the spring, summer & fall + a ‘bubbler’ all year round. Had a piece of cork wood that birds could land on in the center as well. Added a stock tank heater during the winter to keep the fish alive. This was in northeast corner of Kansas. Planted a variety of annuals, perennials and a rose bush on 3 sides of the pond. Loved sitting on our deck listening to the water fall and the many insects and frogs that also enjoyed the area.
This is awesome. I made a pond just like this using a tree pot from Lowe’s. I put 9 guppies in there at the start of the summer and they’re multiplying like crazy
this video would be a lot better if u showed adding the filter rather than just describing. i have no idea what you did for the filter
Same here, idk what tube he used for the filter
I wonder what kind of plants would prevent mosquitoes from egging on my pond.
Kodojak M if you have a lake near you grab some mosquitoe fish
Fish will eat the larvae. Problem solved.
Guppies love it
Kodojak M lemongrass plants
put a snapping turtle in it
Man.. I might sound like an asshole.. Or maybe I am.. But you don't have to talk so much. Just do the thing..✌️
Nice mini pond tho.. I like it.. ♥️
Seriously
Too much explanation make the viewer to skip the video and only see the end result !!! This is not a lecture class ..
Some more hardy fish will be great such as white cloud mountain minnows and rosy red minnows
Pear Fishing and goldfish
Goldfish get large and create too much waste
Pear Fishing yea true I have a 300 gal in ground pond with about 5 of them and they are great, and they are pretty big.
Mosquito fish or some mollies would be great. I put them in all my ponds
Pear Fishing goldfish are members of the carp family, they will grow HUGE just like koi fish do, especially in the wild !
I wish I could have a pond! Unfortunately, one dog would end up in the pond and the other likes trying to catch fish so... This is why I can't have nice things, haha! I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!
out of all the aquarium people on youtube i think youre my favorite i love watching your project videos the most
mosquito fish, crayfish, and bluegill or sunfish
Triassic Fisherman I second this idea! Some bluegill would be nice and they're super hardy and easy to car for. Plus free! Just go net them in pretty much any body of freshwater you can find
@@jeffreyculberth4021
No. Taking fish from their habitat is an arsehole thing to do.
Love it! I did one in a half whiskey barrel and it’s on my front porch. It looks amazing and I have 8 little goldfish that I love to watch. I use the small AQUAScape container garden pump/filter and I have several plants in it as well. So far the water is clear and everything seems healthy. 🤞🏻 I’m a little worried about the heat this summer(Florida). Again, thanks for sharing!
I'm in FL and thinking about building one too. How did yours fair last summer?
@@xburningindigo Ive learned a lot this past year about fish keeping, specifically goldfish. I realized it was WAY overstocked with goldfish. They are huge poop producers and I had not cycled the water to make it safe for them. I upgraded to a 40 gl tub but The water still got very hot as it was above ground. I eventually re-homed those fish and upgraded to a 100 gallon stock tank from tractor supply. I stocked it with 8 oranda goldfish instead of common goldfish as they don’t grow quite as large. I have lots of filtration and plants and do 75% water changes every week. It’s in my air conditioned and heated sunroom so it’s out of the elements. There was a lot to learn but I love it! Best of luck!
I have an aquascape patio pond and it’s awesome, if you have a bit of a higher budget I would highly recommend it
I was really proud of my little pond project from this weekend but now it just looks pitiful compared to that gorgeous little pond.
Hey, it's still one more pond than I have.
Made a pond like that, put three fish inside.... raccoons immediately found them and ate em in like 2 nights
Before any nasty comments I was young and naive and didn’t think a raccoon would realize there were fish in there
Temperate species like white clouds or danios would probably do well in there, dwarf Mexican crays would be really cool but you’d have to figure out a way to stop them from escaping
hey AQUAPROS
GREAT POND VIDEO
TO KEEP COST DOWN I DONE THE FOLLOWING:
I USED GLUE AND SAND FOR THE BASE COLOURING
SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY ( $10 IN TOTAL I THINK )
I ALSO USED 3 PIECES OF A LOG CUT TO SIZE
TO MAKE FEET FOR THE BASE. ONCE LEVEL /SANDED
THEY WORK A TREAT.
GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GOOD
WORK
Add some White Cloud Mountain minnows. It would be awesome to see a massive shoal of them and it would only take a few months for them to procreate to that degree.
You're quite the aquatic vegetation/pond artist. God bless you.
Your pond looks beautiful!!! Definitely inspired to have a go myself!!! Many thanks!!
Perfect timing! I really wanted one of these with white clouds or something like that now I have to convince my parents :D
Shrimp, rosy loaches, gold white mountain minnows. The built in shelves are nice for potted plants.
I'm lovin' my waterfall,and now after watching this video I'm going to make a pond for my deck. Thank you for the great tips 😀
Have used cement mixing tub for 20 years. Still in excellent condition 👌.
“I don’t know why I’m kicking it around” (kicks it again)
Out of curiosity, what is your electric bill every month for all these aquarium pumps and filters?
Take the wattage of specific pump and multiply by number days you run pump...this is what someone told me.
the ufos are spreading all over your channel 😂
😩 All excited then. Can't wait for paludarium part 2 😏
Btw beginning when he was kicking the pond he was actually showing off his white shoes lol
Perfect timing. I'm moving very soon and wanted to create a mini pond. Thanks!
Backyard mini pond? More like mosquito hatchery here in FL 😭
The Megan Experience The fish take care of the mosquito problem. I live in SoCal and they can be a problem but with adequate plants and fish they really weren’t even an issue.
Moving water eliminates mosquitoes.
Depends on what type of fish inhabit the mini pond
Put a dozen guppies in there. You'll never have any mosquitoes.
Put any type of Guppies or Female Betta... You won't have trouble of Mosquito Larvae...
I would love to see some Carp in there! You could either have 2 Common/Comet/Shubunkin Goldfish/American Koi or up to 5 Egg-Bellied ("Fancy") Goldish! If not, I would definitely recommend some Fathead Minnows no questions! They are beautiful fish that get quite large (well, at least in MY experience!). They get along extremely well with Goldfish as well as Shrimp, Snails, etc (pretty much any fish that's okay with them), but usually if you want them to breed, you'd have to keep their temperature at around 52-56 degrees to have them breed, which is why they make such good companions for Carp! I once had 3 large male Fathead Minnows (2 common and 1 "Rosy Red") which grew 2.5 INCHES!!! They are such sweet, fascinating creatures! I would also definitely recommend some Bristlenose Plecostomus, Mystery Snails, Ramshorn Snails, Cherry/Amano and Ghost Shrimp, or maybe even some VAMPIRE SHRIMP!!! Those guys are insanely cool!
That is a lovely little pond, wish we had something similar over here. I made myself a filter housing in pottery class in the shape of a fish and bought a plastic round planter for a mini pond which I'm quite excited with :) I'll have to do a vid soon
I WILL convince my parents to get a pond for our garden by showing this ahahahah
Is water lettuce or alien spaceship
Alien 👽
Wysal Chov spaceship

Great video man , you could add Swordtail Fish to the pond , thy are very hardy fish and look amazing ^^
Lost World yes and guppies and mollies
Hellgirl lives In spotlight guppies and mollies arnt suitable for ponds..
gonna make myself a bedroom pond now
Hello from Barbados. I have a similar pond in my garden just mine doesn't have shelves to place pots. Its fully planted.
I have a question: what if you have a heavy rain?
But congratulations for the project. I'm subscribed.
Should of showed the actual pump setup
Exactly, idk what tubing he even used, trying to figure that out
What a Cute pond !
You did a Awesome job, and love all the water plants..
Also love the sand on the bottom.
Def post more videos, and keep us updated with the fish you add..
Great Pond ! 🐠🐸🐠🐸
This thing is awesome. My wife wants a pond. I’m going to show her this one bc it’s cheap and fast. Thank you. Keep’em coming
How many cans of spray paint did you have to use?
I have a turtle pond. I built a wooden cage around my pond and filled it with sand. My purpose was to keep my dogs from eating my turtle and to keep the pond from getting too hot.
IS THAT A WEED!!! IM CALLING THE POLICE ! (DIALS ON MICROWAVE)
911 WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY
You keep saying LUGwigia it's LUDwigia haha
When you getting your betta?
Nice job! 9:24 Frog planter -- I am thinking that is a Spike Rush -- Eleocharis of some sort - palustris maybe? Pretty much always found with it's roots in mud or shallow water. Remember kids -- "Sedges have edges and Rushes are round!" ;)
Great video! You’ve given me so many ideas for how to do my first pond and it’s a relief to know it doesn’t have to cost the earth and can be mobile! Awesome work man. Looking forward to seeing the next vids in the series.
I had my Koi in the same with no support on my back porch for 3 years till my lawn guys sprayed weeds and Pancake and Phillipina died. I tried lights but did not work to view them and do not buy the water lettuce, it grew so crazy.
“Cheap” is 20$ or less
Allie Rice Are you kidding me? A 20$ or less pond isn’t cheap that’s almost fucking free. One fucking plant costs 20$ here. What he made is fucking great for the price and how nice it looks. That could easily cost >200$.
Aluminium Soup why you hating, lol.
Diana T lol, triggered over a comment
Allie Rice Cheap is a lower price compared to what it usually cost
Considering how much it is to start a pond I'm going with this cheap method
You should put a flat rock from one of those thing to another to make a fish cave
I've got that pond in my front yard and it fits Castle Rock stones perfectly
Any suggestions for zone 10A Florida? And what king of fish for no filters? Thanks
Great video! I want one just need to convince my wife😀
Gunnar Welin good luck haha
Looks awesome. You have inspired me. Only question is living in Florida will it get too hot and can anything survive in it? TIA
Upgrade the Oscar tank lol
Jordan Vaughan 💀💀😆
My girlfriend made her pond, from her daughter:s old plastic, turtle pool,,,, did the job fairly decently
I have one of these and I have some Molly’s and swordtails
What kind of person would waste $200 on that?
Vivian Tristesse Hey I made a patio pond video you might enjoy ! everyone should try this at home I’m in love and my guppies are too ! Here’s the link if you want to watch me set it up ! 🐠🌱💕 th-cam.com/video/-8DZtJkCEOg/w-d-xo.html
Someone that's trying to breed fish and plants obviously
I like this. You get a sub.
Yeah, there def needs to be more detail on how you set up the filter, what if anything you did to treat the water, what the maintenance looks like, etc. Not everybody has watched your other videos.
it's a pretty little pond.
What do you do with the fish during the winter?? I know!! ? Maybe a stupid question, but a total green horn here who really wants to do this with fish??? Or like other pond systems, the fish just stay in there all winter? Northeast here.
Clicked right away
That's not a pond it's a mosquito habitat
Not if you put fish in it or have moving water, problem solved
Looks wonderful
Less than 200$ 😳 mine is less then 12$ lol. but OfCourse not in the States. :)
A baby turtle 🐢
It's not cheap at all , you have a filter & i think the best because it's a low cost for ever filter =)
Pozzolane is indestructible & keep all his efficiency for years without changing or clean so it's the best .
In addition i & it's up to me , add Wood coal with it on the filter to have optimal cleaning .
Stock it with something from our friends at flip aquatics !
I live in Greece and the weather gets REALLY hot in the summer about 106 degrees Fahrenheit. How can I prevent the 9 tubs that I have already set up from boiling?
You should consider farming blue lotus flower for its hallucinogenic effects. It's legal in U.S. bout 70$/oz dried flower
What kind and size of Plastic Rail Planter did you use for your Pond Filter? And where did you purchase it please? All I can find are the 24" length which seems to be too long. I just bought the same 35 gallon pond liner as you from Home Depot.
In india we get the sane tub for less than a dollar
nagpur ke chamatkar no shit. how many rupees equal a dollar..
Approx 70 rupees is equal to 1 dollar
Can you share the link from where I can buy it, I’m from India
vartika gupta local plant store
yeah but you have to live in India so there's the tradeoff
My experience goldfush can live in 2ft or more water but need shade to avoid cooking in the sun. Sadly my hubbydid that once😕
Too much talk less action
Great idea, however direction we taking is habitat for frogs n birds, and do things to conserve water naturally like from rain. We live between zone 5&6. 😊
I think some Fancy Goldfish would be awesome!!!!!!!!
Do you leave your dwarf sag outside in winter? Also, how to prevent mosquito in your dwarf sag basket? Did you add fish there?
35 bucks for a plastic pot? that's a bit too much.
You aint going to like how much they are now
Many of the plants you are using are highly invasive, especially the water hyacinth. In fact, in some states they are illegal. Please do your research before you introduce plants into the environment!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaas queen
Great video. What is the value of the dwarf sag? How are u keeping mosquitoes out of your pond until u get fish? I want to have frogs come over to my pond (so no fish) but how to manage mosquitoes til the frogs show up?
You should put some Molly's and platys with a few gold fish( the ones with lots g fins like butterfly koi) and maybe even a crayfish.
Kurla Stabakan first of all, it was a suggestion he obviously knows it would be a bad idea to put those two together
Guppies work too. Just stick with small/nano fish
MurkinWithMichael You could only put fancy goldfish in that sized pond and only two if daily water changes aren't gonna happen. And fancy goldfish are better inside than outside, along with not being able to put other kinds of fish with them unless it's snails or a pleco. Not good pond fish for this pond.
Crayfish will eat your goldfish..
Wait, you willingly put water lettuce and hyacinth in your pond?? I am in FL and they are both restricted invasive species that have demolished our natural water ways. Just curious, where did you get it, if not your neighborhood pond?
Jesus is our god
Jaya Khan might be your god, but it isn't mine.
Hahahaha
And small flowering plants would be good beside the shelf of grassweed I think.
The frog pot was a great idea. It adds a nice touch
The brown dirt is alright, but it makes it look less cleaner than say...smooth gray/black rocks or white smooth pebbles.
Would it be nice to add a "zen" rock, a big jagged one, so you can grow moss on the rock or some succelent varieties? Behind the plants so it adds a nice backdrop?
I tried doing the topsoil/sand in my pond (same as video) but the sand didn't settle and the water is murky. Will drain and refill. Can someone link the proper type of sand? Used patio paver sand and generic top soil from HDepot.
Does anyone have any suggestions for pond fish in Texas? Gets up to 105 degrees during the summer months. Just got into “tubbing” and I’m not sure what to go with. I’ve thought about Guppies or Danios but not much else.
Can you remember what these were actually called? A keyword to put in my PC? I don't have a home depot in my country, but there might be another place.
That paint I use for fake rock in fish tanks that's drys with no toxic residue you could have put that in the whole thing. Benefit to coating the whole Pond would be lower heat temperature black conducts heat. But good job.
