New Planter (kind of DIY?) for the Outdoor Goldfish Tank.
I wanted a planter for the goldfish tank that would hold plants without having to stack anything underneath it for support. I modified a plastic planter and some plant hooks to suspend the planter in place a few inches below the waterline. Looks nice!

Drama with the Outdoor Goldfish Tank - The Water Hibiscus has Fallen!
zhlédnutí 153Před 21 dnem
The Water Hibiscus toppled over and broke a branch. It reached a height of ~ 12ft but did not have a sufficient base and toppled over. In the video we'll save the plant and reorganize the tank. #goldfish #goldfishpond #waterplant
Adding Guppies to the New Patio Pond!
zhlédnutí 178Před 28 dny
I added platinum guppies and tequila sunrise guppies to the patio pond. I've never had guppies before, so this is a first for me. I also completed a small water change on the outdoor goldfish tank. Minor tragedy with the giant water hibiscus that tumbled under its own weight.

How I Got Started with The Outdoor GoldFish Tank

I wanted to provide an overview of where I started with the outdoor goldfish tank and how I've progressed over the years. Starting with a 20 gallon patio pond tub to a Rubbermaid 50 gallon stock tank to the custom 200 gallon tank I built and have to this day.

This is short 3 minute video of my outdoor goldfish (and friends). I like to check in on the fish and plants and the general state of the tank. No commentary on this one just the fish being fish. Enjoy!

Outdoor Goldfish Tank (pond?) Plants & Water Change

Weekly water change, plant trim, and goldfish check. The big question - is this a tank or a pond?

DIY Goldfish Tank - water change & improvements
zhlédnutí 135Před 2 měsíci
Water change on the outdoor goldfish tank. Built a new filter box for the Fluval FX4 canister filter, and rearranged plants.
Over time, a pond undergoes a process called ecological succession. Bacteria and plants initially colonize the pond, breaking down organic matter and releasing nutrients for the plants. when the plants are happy, water is clear. Nice pond :)
Looks good! I add a handful of sand or two to my goldfish ponds just to give them something on the bottom to look through.
Thank you. I'll likely do the same.
I grow duckweed in other containers to add to my goldfish ponds for them to eat. Lizard tail is one of the plants, what are the other two? Thanks. Also where are you located?
One is Pink Sprite but I don't remember the other taller grassy one. (If you touch the leaves its smells like black licorice.). I'm in Carlsbad, CA.
You have some great looking goldfish there!
I LOVE FISH!!!!❤ THERE SO COOL!!!!❤
I give this video like and hope this you *get 4 views*
Thank you!
Nice video. Great job on the ponds. Enjoy!
Thank you!
Can you show us your whole garden area , i would love to see it.
Hi - It's a future project, as it's currently a bit messy and needs improvement.
Before I finished listening to your entire video, may I compliment how beautifully humongous you kept your comets and shubunkins! Nice plump, strong confirmation around the contour and a spindle shaped body when viewed from the top. I never seen your videos but it's my first time!
Thank you so much 😊
That is amazing how clear it got! It’s beautiful water. How big is that pond? What are the little fish you have in there?
Thank you! It's 72" x 44" and ~24" deep. The small fish are mosquito fish.
Nice little ponds. I started out many years ago with an old bathtub and goldfish. Now I have many little ponds setup. Some just have tadpoles. Some have goldfish and some have small aquarium fish in the warm months and one has my first rice fish. I built some of the ponds and some I got from Tractor Supply and some are just plastic containers. I love my water lilies. I got my first baby goldfish this year.
Love it! Did you set up your ponds to be self sufficient or do you do water changes etc? Congrats on the baby goldfish!
@@mrdougs619 I do small water changes when needed but that is not very often. I am in south Louisiana and we can get a lot of rain, so that does some water changes from time to time or at least top ups. I do not over-crowd my ponds with fish and many of them have no filter other than a lot of plants.
Very nice pond!
Thank you!

Beautiful. Seems loud...
Thank you. It could be that the camera mic is over sensitive. Still trying to figure that out.
Does your hibiscus plant emerge in the pond water? What type of hibiscus that? It looks great.
The new growth emerged both below and above the waterline. (Mostly below or very close to the water line.) It's called Scarlet Rose Mallow or Swamp Hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus). And thank you, I also think it's a great plant and have been amazed at how well it's grown. It flowered in September last year so I suspect the same this year; looking forward to that.
@@mrdougs619 Thank you.
Cool set up. I like the cedar trim.
Thank you!
Since you are doing weekly water changes, I would say it is a tank. In all the pond videos I’ve watched, the owners don’t mention doing water changes. They stress the use of plants and the a bio filter to maintain water quality for the fish. Regardless of what you call it, it’s beautiful!
Thank you!
