ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA great advice
I have my own. I can suggest from my experience that you can keep angel fish in such type of pond in your balcony. I bought 2 angel fishes from the shop in 2013 and they are still alive.
I have male Bettas in my community tanks and they are doing great minding their own business and not picking on none of my fish :)
sifat kabir I would suggest not keeping angelfish in pond unless designed specifically for them.
Tnx, but somehow, my pond was suitable for them coincidently, and they r living happily there
"2 excited workers
cost: free or some food"
dammnn😂😂😂
Thanks for watching Viswatara 😊
Fish : "Am I free food for birds or what?"
Better she put a net to cover the pond
Nice idea but on a balcony,... it's a good fishing spot for crow's.
Just attach a transparent white net on grill simple
Thug life🚬💣🔫🔪💊
Yes 🤣
And pigeons
Will it overflood or overflow if it rains!?
3:36 cat is like "leave me alone in the house with this tiny creation of yours...and I'm gonna clean it for ya...you know what I mean lady!"
Allen Logan , lol ..you just made me check 3:36 and i ❤ her expression !
An year back she tried catching a fish and fell into the pond...since then she is happy with processed food !
@@Designcalling 🤣🤣
You guys are the best parents ever for teaching your kids to love and create their own fish pond !
+James Bui Thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 Have a good day !
The pond is nice but remove the Betta fish as it can die as it is a tropical fish and requires warm water at 2:43 and 3:09
On the left side pls
Hey thanks for watching Aaditya Sankpal.
Thanks for the valuable advice .Our viewers will benefit from it.
Have moved the Goldfish and Betas indoor.

I am really amazed with such things that can be done on balcony, hatsoff to your idea and it's is simple, easy and quick to made too.
How do you clean the aquarium and change water.can you make a video on that also👍

That was a wonderful idea to make an unusable & tiny balcony, into something gorgeous. Great stuff.
+Coplay Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it 🙂
I would put a (removable) grill on it when no buddy it looking at it.. Btw will it work for my 7" iridescent sharks/I.D sharks? I know I can make this deep but.. Can it work?
Cool. Super.really simple. lovely. thank you so much

Hey thanks for watching Sanchita Singha !
Thanks for the compliment. This idea of having a pond is my son's This video is done to encourage all children to go out ,get their hands Dirty and stay away from the virtual world of Cartoons , Phones and Video games...
My cat "FURRY" says hiee Mew Mew...
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA I appreciate your though. Keep going.
Aapne ye plastic liner kaha se liya
how do you clean your pond considering there are fishes in it
This is an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much ! so glad you like it !
This isn't awesome do some research
During rainy seasons? Fishes won't go out
Fish Lover haha
Sangee's Corner ya they might start flying in rain 😐
How you will change the water m sure after few days there will be insects in the water plus it will start smelling ?
We can make dis aquarium in tub?
Coz I don't have depth balcony
wow great idea
Thank you so much Syed Mohd Khalid ! Have a good day :)
awesome.... food for crows
Thanks for watching!
Bad for the crows, I have a Cat !
Thanks for posting. Ok assuming the cat itself doesn't eat the fishes and is all veggie warding off the crows, then people who don't have cats shouldn't be making this balcony pond.
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA awww I love your cat
TH-cam Commenter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also a mosquito factory...
Thank you so much mam i was thinking to make a pond in the back yard but you gave me such a good idea in low price !! I love your idea
You are so gullible and natural in your narrative. I love that about you. Great idea too.
Thank you so much Deepak Nambiar ! Have a good day ❤
Lots of thumbs up but what if the cat comes
Hey thanks for watching Ms Hareem !
Understand your concern ! My cat eats only processed food. One can modify and make a safer version of this one by adding a net or creating more hiding spaces for fish.
I'm more concerned about the crows and other birds that will eventually come for a quick snack
If cat come then your fish is in trouble
At a net cover.
You can keep shark. Then you have to worry the other way round abt the caT.😂😂
Aftr few days there will be Mosquitoes n dirt in d water.
hi dear, i understand your concern.
We have this pond since an year now, and haven't faced any issues regarding mosquitoes or built up dirt !
Thanks for watching !
simple gal mosquitoes dont lay eggs in moving water.. only stagnant. . So that pond actually is quite perfect for that balcony!
simple gal ji you should know fishes feed on mosquito larvae.
simple gal yes u r right, that's y govt is warning us that don't gather water for long time it's welcome dengue..And it looks unhygienic,untidy and messy..And wat abt water they will not change it, how will it will like that and second thing if everytime we will change it then it will be very hectic..
Yes, indeed a very safe environment for dengue mosquito larva cultivation ....
Didn't see u add any kind of filters, how do u take care of cleaning the pond.
As u rplyed i have a question how u maintain it eventually fishes will spoil water by sometime and what if balcony is flooded with rain water?
Its an impressive idea, but how frequently do we need to replace the water from the pond and where is the water outlet?
Hey thank you so much !
You need not change the water, all the dirt in water gets accumulated on collander ( net utensil ) which is a food for scavenger fishes like sucker, eel and catfish. So you only add water ( chlorine free ) to maintain level as there will always be water loss due to evaporation.
-Nihara
Amazing 😱😱😱😱
Would be more vibrant if we add colorful pebbles 😃😃
Hey thanks for watching !
You can definitely add colourful elements to make it more attractive and give it a personal touch.
but what about water ph level ? and dun yu need a filter to clean the water ?
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA what she is asking ? how frequently we have to change water.is this your answer for that question.
It is good. But how do we clean and change the water
Hey thanks for watching !

And if at all you find leaves and dirt floating around you can use a simple fish net to remove it.
I have one doubt mam where that water is coming we want to give separate connection for that .
👏👏👏 Maravilhoso!!! Super criativo!!! Amei ❤❤💕 Você também é muito linda! Parabéns!👏👏👏
Wow great idea,but birds will eat ur fishes, u should close the grill i think
Hey thanks for watching Pavani raj diy crafts !
I have this pond since an year now, recreated for shooting. All this while i haven't seen birds attacking fishes, also there is lot of hiding space in the pond. As you said one can add a bird net on outside edge to be careful.
even i have fish outside in a small terrace pond top of my house, crows and other birds come to drink water but they have never caught a fish .
hahahaha good observation 😂😂😂
No bird large enough would care to mess with them. I don't know about India but in the USA we have hawks Eagles and here a lot of ospreys which could be a problem, but with this being surrounded by the rails and enclosed it would be no problem. But hiding spaces are always needed and will solve that problem
What if water becomes dirty because it's stagnant water and do we need to change the water.... If yes how....?
That was amazing.. but i am wondering that wont fishes die in high heat (harsh sunny days) as water will heat up ?
Hey thanks for watching !
Cascading water helps in maintaining the internal temperature. We have this pond since an year, recreated it for shooting. It has survived one summer heat. Delicate fishes like angel and discus fish which need temperature control may not survive extreme temperature changes.
I love this idea, and it's just very simple and looks amazing. How about maintaining it
Nice, but how do u solve the water heating problem
That's jus awsomeeee!!!!!!

SHAINA PRASAD she has no idea
She's seriously got no idea. At least do your research before keeping live animals. There's a thing called nitrogen cycle and filtration!!!! A filter is a must with partial water changes regularly. Or it's just a doom pond for your fishes! Lady you keep copy pasting the same reply on everyone's comment... Try to acknowledge the fact that what so many people are asking could really be a matter of concern!!!!!! Fix your filtration system!!
Very beautiful
Hey thanks for watching Limja Fashion!
Glad you liked it ❤
How do you clean this ?
With all the small fishes being there its difficult to remove them and fishes require a monthly change of water.
How do you deal with that?
how to clean this water from time to time... and other maintenance tips
You will be getting mosquito larva
Is there any solution or as they say guppy fish eats mosquito larva
Hey thanks for watching ! yes guppy fishes are a must as they eat mosquitoes and their larvae thus avoiding the multiplication.

First of all heat and cold would not allow your fishes to survive. Second, is the water need to be clean and top up regularly due to evaporation. Third, mosquitoes and birds will attract. I think balcony pond idea is a disaster.
sumit sharma bhai
I think not since she said its been operating for 1 year now.. and they got no problem with it.. shr just made a video with it cause it works for them..
sumit sharma its a disaster..... and a very bad idea
Yes it looks beautiful but on the other side it's not hygienic
India is a tropical country which means heater is necessary.
What about the water ........how do we change it when the water is dirty
Superb pond. Where did you get the polythene? I have done similar thing but with a water storage tank with the top cut off. I got goldfish and cichlids.
U r creative but this does not feel practical and safe too.... It will attract lots of insects and mosquitoes. Otherwise it would be really cool
Hey thanks for watching seema rajput !Guppy fishes are a must here as they eat mosquitoes and their larvae thus
avoiding the multiplication. At times the pond does attract butterflies and
moths which add up to the beauty !
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA Yes you're correct. But take the fighter out. It'll eat most of your guppy fry. Thanks
seema rajput mosquitoes wont be a problem. fish will eat them.
The Dark Planet the pond has many crevices and small places for fry to escape the fighter.
some tips from exp.
1: add a filter. it will help a lot in keeping water clean (visually and chemically) which is good for fishes in long run. (you can buy one or make a diy filter which is easy)
2: if have problems from birds of prey, make some cave among the rocks reusing old broken clay pots. it also looks aesthetically pleasing. or you can opt for a mesh net.
3. since it is in open there is high possibility of algae, so some algae- eating fish will be a cool addition.
4. if ur fishes die then google about aquarium cycles or visit fishlore.com , if u know it all then its good.
Nice work..
Thank you so much Hemendra Singh ! Keep the good vibes coming ❤
Awesome!! Just a question, how to protect and maintain that pond from strong wind and rain in the balcony?
how long it would last.and how frequently we should change polythene sheet
But don't you think that it will a hassle for cleaning it. I believe that aquarium fishes cannot survive in very dirty water like mud which comes from plant.
Hey thanks for watching !

So you only add water ( chlorine free ) to maintain level as there will always be water loss due to evaporation. And if at all you find leaves and dirt floating around you can use a simple fish net to remove it.
Delicate aquarium fishes which need temperature, salt and regular cleaning are not advisable here. Always consult the aquarium shop staff while buying fishes.
Goldfish and Koi live naturally in this kind of water. I had a little pond habitat for my goldfish and he lived for 3 years. Happy fish.
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA ok thanks for that. I will try this then.
Please research on fish keeping to see how waste and other bio material breaks down and causes toxic chemicals to build up in the water and also on how to filter these out.. Else it would be inhumane for the fish.. Also please partially change the water weekly.
OK km kro apna
How water changes take place

Extraordinary dear ...bt I hv one question How can u clean the pond when it need?
How did you make a fountain flow!!?
Nice , but the fishes should be careful from birds
Hey thanks for watching ii Bossyoumen ii !

Annnnnd may I ask, how are you planning to clean it.
Perfection!
Thank you so much ❤
More videos on balcony fish pond
Tushar Kumar here is my first aquaponics setup th-cam.com/video/RfwQEFMNsBw/w-d-xo.html
But how should we change the water of the pond pls reply me fast !!!!!!!!
Aditya R for partial changing just divert flow out side pump for a while into a container or use separate suction siphon to remove water. In later you can target dirts and pull dirt also. After removing 20 to 50% of water slowly add fresh water without disturbing stones or arrangements. The best time to change water is early morning. The fresh water can be kept overnight in a container next to pond to get same temperature.
it will get more mosquito due to open water
Hey thanks for watching ! Guppy fishes are a must here as they eat mosquitoes and their larvae thus avoiding the multiplication.
Arun Singh fishes are there to eat mosquito
I like how us mumbaikars make creative things in the smallest available spaces without complaining 💯
Hai where u get that pebbles stones
Very nice idea but it could have been made cleaner and you could have covered the plastic wrap with substrate or something and added a filter.. I don't see how any life can thrive in such a muddy dirty stagnant water.. I wouldn't want to sit and admire fishes suffering to breathe under dirty water and plastic.. I'd rather just have a garden sans the water tragedy.. loved the idea.. could have been executed cleaner..
Thanks for watching Reena Vijayan !
and for your valuable feedback !
If you think about it...all the fish originated from lakes, oceans and ponds...All have mud in them settled or unsettled..Animal planet shows it too! :D

Hi, lovely idea. I want to make a smaller lotus pond set up in my house.
However I have seen that the water becomes green and murky after sometime due to algae growth even after putting fish in the pond. Algae also start growing on the rocks kept at the bottom of the pool.
Have you experienced anything like that? Do you have any tips to keep the pond crystal clear?
Great idea I will use that idea at my balcony
What about water cleaning?
Thanks for watching IFly High !

Thanks team for responding.
But again I have a question for water leakage issues, I did kind of same by dumping soil mix with Coco pit and added flowers. But would it affect the concrete structure in terms of leakage, as might with time this plastic sheet will get rupture and slowly it start collecting water in the same place, but we wouldn't know if it's water stored in PVc sheet or the concrete pit.
Great idea but the water is so dirty and you put fish inside it. Gross
How can u change water regularly..it turns dirty..and it's tough to clean that place
2 excited workers haha 😂😂 btw great video
Ab yahan machar paida honge
+p k hello guppy fish are must here as they eat mosquito larvae.
ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA great
right
Gold fish and koi fish eat mosqito larva
You can manage even without guppies all you need is some basic water flow you can use anything from a waterfall to an aquarium filter.
Filtration for fish? The water is not even cycled.

Link to the Algae removal liquid is in the description box, this will also maintain the nitrates level in the water.
She hAS NO CLUE ABOUT AQUACULTURE ... she's a loser.. no filter. Colander i believe... you suck
Kary N she's a sucker . She is putting betta with a goldfish . Daughter of a bitch .
DIE FOR DIY Killing fish because of ignorance is fine then?
What Plats are you plan there?
please tell their name... Like the vedios. (Bangladesh)
wow there are many fish fries ! ! definitely your guppies are happy in there ! love it ,, highly unique indeed ,,,,
no filter, no heater
Thanks for watching !
Hey the dirt in water gets accumulated on collander ( net utensil ) which is a food for scavenger fishes like sucker, eel and catfish. As no dirt enters the fountain pump, filter isn't required. Temperature is favorable for fishes here in Mumbai. Heater might be required in a different location where there is major fluctuation in temperature. Please consult the local Aquarium vendor for the requirement of heater.
-Nihara
Do we need filter if direct enter in the water fall? What about the ammonia, nitrite & nitrate?
Yes you will require a filter in front of the pump entry if the colander isn't used, this will also avoid fishes from entering the pump. We have placed aquatic plants near the colander as they maintain the nitrate levels in the water. Due to evaporation in the waterfall there is approx. 20 % of water loss every week, addition of fresh chlorine free water every week also helps in maintaining the balance.
Hope this helps !
Amit Gupta she has no idea about cycling or how fishes are kept . It's simply a disaster .
Amit Gupta you're right, the ammonia and nitrate will keep building up till her fish die because she doesn't change the water
Child labor 🙄🙁

May I know the volume of water? I was wondering total weight of the thing, as we have hanging balcony, got a bit of weight restrictions
How to clean it but ?? It's too difficult! And in rainy season??
From where do you bought lotus plant??
Hi,
I want to persue interior architecture
How and from where can I do it..?
how do you change the water
Very Very innovative 💡 idea mam hats off too u but what you will do about the algae issues causes due to direct contact of sunlight in your pond
Omg what a bright idea. Please share information of the plants used. I will definitely recreate this adorable pond someday.
This is very useful for Indians who live in societies and can't afford a garden for fish pond.
Did you cycle the pond before adding fish?
How would you clean the water?
And one more question if u keep it open N leave fish in it birds or cats won't eat it up or what, Pl explain
how to change the water as it will get smelly after sometime
