Fish Pond or Frog Pond? // POND UPDATES
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 06. 2018
- You've been asking for a pond update... and here it is! It's a long video too because there was a lot more to talk about than I expected. So come hang out with me around the pond to look at the wakins and watonai (and Submarine!). I'll also show you the frogs that have been hanging out around my pond with all their thousands of tadpoles. Watch till the end for a glimpse at the patio bowl pond too, although don't get too excited. The plants look terrible lol.

sooo many tadpolesssss!... you should plop an underwater cam in the indoor pond would be fun watchin all those babies darting around. great job jennie!
That would be really cool! btw I subscribed to you!
As you look out in the yard at night and see a raccoon wearing the alligator head as a mask dancing around chasing his buddies.
hahahahaha
I love the image that you put in my head lol
You can see that she actually cares about her animals she’s a great youtuber
Yes totally 💗🐠
Yep 😌😊
Hi Jennie... your "droopy" plant looks like an impatiens plant from what I can tell.... they tend to like shady, moister areas. They aren't happy in bright sun and intense heat.... you may want to move it for it to survive. May I suggest a miniature butterfly bush--they stay small and attract butterflies etc.... Love that the frogs enjoy your pond! 😊
klcpca great idea!
You need to install a camera in your yard. That is really creepy. I can't imagine any small animal would mess with that gator head. If anything it should scare them away. Since you are on CZcams and a lot of people know you I think it would probably be a good idea to install some kind of surveillance. That just seems really strange. Maybe look into getting Ring or Nest or some other general security system with cameras that you can access via your smart device.
If you don't think raccoons would do that stuff you've never dealt with raccoons. They're very intelligent and curious.
I didn't say it wasn't raccoons. It's better to be safe than sorry. And yes, I deal with raccoons on a daily basis. I live smack dab in the middle of the mountains.
and she should get m16 with a bump start for those bear and ratcoons
Finally an update on the pond! As for the skimmer and small fish the screen will work but you could simply remove the weir flap and they can swim in and out. For the raccoons get a motion controlled water jet and it will scare anything away! Enjoy the frogs and wildlife in the meantime!
I think I've said this before, but I insist: You should name one of your wakin goldfish Phoenix. Then it would be your Wakin Phoenix.
hahaha I like that idea.
Is it goofy I thought the same thing!
You should introduce some flagfish into the pond. Their native, beautiful, small enough to hide from predators, and most importantly - they love to eat hair algae!
A couple of weeks ago i went on vacation to Tokyo and was able to visit the goldfish cafe that you went to in one of your vlogs! It was a wonderful experience and they had such beautiful and healthy goldfish. So thank you Jennie for sharing that with me or I wouldve never known such a cute place existed ❤️
Oh that's amazing! Isn't it such a fun place? I'm glad you got to visit it too. :)
I always watch 3 minute ads just for you. Since I can't really help you any other way financially.
Your channel makes me happy because my mama used to have a pond with goldfish who LOVED being pet. Everytime you put your hand in the water they'd swim through your fingers. My mama is gone now but this channel sorta makes me feel closer to her in a way. She loved those fish!
Your environmental sense is great to see in a young woman. Hope it becomes infectious. Future generations are going to need all the shepherds possible, like you.
Hi, definitely use it as a frog pond, night vision security cameras would be great to pickup your sneaky backyard landscaper. More native plants and plants overhanging the pond throughout the bark mulch areas. Creating more deep shade around the pond should encourage frogs to use your pond even more.
The patio pond plants need full sun for at least part of the day, for potting media I’ve found success with 50/50 decomposed cow manure and potting mix. Using paper to line the pot and gravel to top off the potting media. Lillies especially need full sun and prefer minimal surface agitation/ splashing so best placed away from the waterfall.
The pond looks really good especially the hardscape.
You could try putting a common plecko in your big pond to help with the algae. I think that they would be camouflaged enough not to get eaten. Have a great day!!!
Gecko .
Agree with this totally! A pleco would be do good for your pond. If it gets where it is too cold outside put it inside.
Salamanders natural would work out well, might e6at the frog eggs & polliwogs.
I came for the goldfish, but stayed because of how enthusiastic you are about creating an environment for your local fauna! Obviously I love the goldies too, but yay! wild animal friends!
Plus for the raccoon I would get a cheap game cam you can please by the pond and if their are raccoons it will snap a pic and you can confirm that’s what it is
Carolina Vivariums but then the fish would already day be dead, but good idea for finding out what it was
A proper closed circuit security camera system to monitor your property might be in order, especially as you have outbuildings and a wild area next to your yard.
My mollies tore up my water lillies I had with them and generally would stay dark as fry for a month or two befor getting any actual coloring so you might have some really bright ones in a couple of weeks if your lucky
Interesting, thanks for sharing! It must be them doing a number on my poor lily then haha.
Dichondra, Silver falls!!
Also the New Guinea Impatient could use a light misting of water during the hot part of the day to help with the wilting.
I also had a bunch of tadpoles in my pond that grew up into little toads, they were so much fun to watch. It's so much fun to see the wildlife that finds its way to a pond.
I renovated a house last summer with a neglected pool FULL of tadpoles. I made sure to save cleaning the pool for last but for the entire job my favorite part of the day was getting there first thing in the morning and watching them. Fyi I missed them when they left the pool lol. But it was so fun watching them hop through the yard. They where so stinkin cute! They where everywhere even all over the front porch.
Lily pads really helped cut down on my string algae. Maybe try minnows and snails
Good ole southeastern US, where we essentially breathe water due to humidity 😂 great video! You've taught me a lot since I've started watching your videos about 6 months ago. And now I have 4 tanks 😂
OMG, all of them tadpoles looked like they just came out from a very satisfying buffet!
Pond is looking amazing! Tadpoles are hilarious looking when their legs come out.
Nice pond. Heard Greg built that for you. He's a cool guy
Catch Em All Fishing aaayyeee catch em all!! Awesome to see fish youtubers supporting each other!!♥️😋
Catch Em All Fishing Reel legends never die! 😘😘😘❤❤❤
Catch Em All Fishing, you king of diy, and Jenny are my favorite youtubers
Catch Em All Fishing I didn’t know u watched her but ily both! 😀
Zac can you dig a hole put the kidy pool inside the hole plz try it
do you have any fast growing underwater plants (anacharis, parrotsfeather, etc)? Maybe that would outcompete the string algae for nutrients. Raccoons are a massive pest, I am so thankful they have not messed with any of my tubs (fingers crossed). also, the lily will need fertilization (root tab) every 2-4 weeks if you want blooms.
Thanks for the tips Rachel! You're the best
Solid Gold Aquatics I have had lillies in my ponds for years and they always bloom amazing(5-6 blooms per plant!) with out fertilizing.
A big variable as well is how its potted- what size container, what type of soil, etc and if the pond has substrate or is bare (like a plastic bin/tub) as well as stocking density. Lilies potted into the substrate of a pond/container don't require the fertilization those that in for instance a 3g plastic pot do. I have found that fertilizing my potted lilies in my bare bottom tubs every 2-4 weeks ensures good blooms.
Rachel O'leary Mine are in bare bottom ponds from 20-250 gallon, fish and no fish, 1-5 gallon pots
You can pot a fans
Frog Pond! I love it, even though its not what you originally started with I think its a beautiful thing to have a habitat for native species to breed. Your Dad wearing your logo shirt is the sweetest. I agree a trail cam or night cam on the pond 'activites' would also be a fun addition to this channel. I'm glad you show your defeats as well as your triumphs. Seeing how the indoor pond is evolving 'even though the plants aren't doing well' helps me feel like I can keep going on as a fellow hobbyist. I enjoy seeing all your pets and wild pets as well.
The common goldfish is so attached to you! That was the cutest thing ever
Since you aren't gonna put goldfish in the pond you should try putting some native fish in there. A cool small native fish that would be cool in there is like a bluegill
Duc Tran Or native minnows, darters, killifish. There are some cool ones that are native to Florida. The Blue spotted sunfish and pygmy sunfish species would be great as well.
Josh Black yeah those would be cool, I was just bringing up the topic of native fish so I didn't really try to list the different species
Yeah, don't bother putting goldfish in there. Your goldfish was probably hiding from predators in the skimmer. You can try little fish like native minnows, mollies etc...
You need floating plants or water lilies to block out the light to control the algae.
My water lettuce are finally taking off and I'm hoping they'll help control the algae a bit.
If you do really want to have goldfish in a pond, you'll have to make your pond a bit bigger and deeper, like 4 feet deep and hiding caves at the bottom of the pond. My pond was ravaged by raccoons until I figured that out.
The dirt around you seems pretty easy to dig.
I love tadpoles so much. I keep African dwarf frogs and sometimes they spawn. The little babes are so cute.
I really love so much when they have all four legs in but still have the little tail.
I LOVE frogs! How exciting that they are singing you to sleep every night!
Maybe some feeder comets. It could be a low risk addition to the pond. After all their intended "purpose" was to be fed to another animal. So a 50/50 chance on survival in the pond, is better than the almost 100% chance of being food, or dying in a crowded pet store tank.
Or she could just have some lovely frogs, and not have to watch her fish die (which you would get attached to anyway).
Naerwyn very true. Just trying to offer a suggestion. IF she wanted to add fish still.
Trust me I get where you're coming from. I was, and still am for the most part. The kid who wanted to "save" every fish at the store. I think you may have misunderstood where I was coming from.
The frogs and tadpoles are so cute! I also think it was a raccoon that was messing around in your outside pond. Maybe instead of goldfish, put in fancy guppies in that pond?
Yea, having a mini pond into the middle of the fish room with the koi would be really cool.
Wonderful pond and goldfish! Lovely frogs! Funny alligator head! You’re channel is really special Jennie!
I didn't realize I was here a minute after the video was uploaded until the end of the video
It's just so cool that you have such an amazing and natural ecosystem in your backyard. I wish that I had the resources to do something cool like this!
The lily will do so much better in full sun, slow moving water. Amazing ponds!
Also its super adorable that your dad has a Solid Gold shirt!
Why not add some small feeder type fish so you don't get attached and don't feel as bad if they face predation? White cloud mountain minnows would be cool.
Put a white bottom in your pond for the Molly's
So happy to see a pond update! I LOVE frogs and tadpoles so much! I have a 5k pond and the frogs might be my favorite thing lol. They are so darn cute and entertaining. Really stay on top of that screen if you decide to keep it because if it gets to clogged the pump could run dry. If you're not adding fish I would remove it honestly for fear of burning out the pump. Or get a bigger mesh at least. I have a negative edge skimmer on my pond so I have to deal with a similar situation. Adding a little shade to my pond has helped a lot with algae, wilty plants and temp. Sail shades would look great in your yard. Best of luck to you and keep the videos coming!
White substrate would look awesome in the bowl pond and make those adorable little Mollys stand out better. Love your videos!
Love u Goldie 💚😘
Have you thought about adding some small native species like Florida Flag Fish or some Pygmy Sunfish? The Flag Fish in particular can help with the string algae. Some underwater plants would be nice as well.
So happy to see how much your spirits have lifted in the past few months :) Love your animals, love seeing you happy and inspired. This was a great video!
My parents hate the tree frogs we get because their so loud, I'm glad you appreciate them.
When are you getting the giant glass 2000 gallon aquarium in the center of your fish room
M E custom aquariums uploaded a video on their channel building her glass aquarium. So maybe in the next month or so
That actually wasn't my tank; mine is not in their production queue yet. But it's really similar to the one they're going to make for me! I don't have an estimated delivery date yet as the next group of four 120 gallon tanks need to be made first. :)
Do you have any issues with your pond getting to warm? If so how do you combat it?
Carolina Vivariums I would set up a fountain or waterfall. No idea if it would help though. I just put a piece of wood over most of mine. That might insulate it... But its shade... I'm sorry, no clue. :(
They have pool coolers? They are a certain type of fountain? I know they work for a pool. I can imagine it would work for a pond. Also plenty of plant cover would help
It gets to about 78 degrees F in mid-day, so not too bad surprisingly. Shade cloth or a lot of floating plants can help block some sun and keep the water cooler though if needed.
I think having tadpoles nibble at your toes or fingers is one of the coolest sensations. Because I'm weird. ❤
tadpoles are soo cute.. so much nostalgia since when I was little I used to ride horses for a bit and while riding them in a certain area where there was a ditch or a stream (idk which) I would look forward to seeing the tadpoles there every time we rode past them *hehe*
You should at least put a bunch of feeder minnows in the pond and a pleco.
U should raise some of the tiniest tadpoles and u should either get more dart frogs or get a crested gecko cause their awesome and easy geckos and what are the sizes of ur gecko tanks
Smith Playz14 she has dart frogs, four of them.
Tahiti Kruse yes I know that, that’s why I said more of them
Smith Playz14 Anymore and they might start killing eachother
Yeah, let's not get her hoarding animals for viewers amusement
She can release the tadpoles when there frogs, we can watch them grow and help more reach adulthood, giving a native species a helping hand.
I think that she said that she is planning to get more dart frogs in another video.
2000 gal custom-made aquarium? Gosh!! You are going to beat the KING OF DIY pretty soon!
Y’all... I *jumped* completely out of my skin when she turned the camera on her pond and I seen that alligator head 😂
Flease frog pond🐸🐸
Ayeeee have you considered getting reptiles like lizards or snakes? I really want you to get a bearded dragon!!!!!
I have two leopard geckos and a bioactive vivarium for a giant day gecko is on my project list currently. In the future I would love a chameleon too, but that's down the road a ways. I think bearded dragons are awesome, but I don't really have the desire to own one. Gotta limit my pets only to what is most interesting to me and a manageable work load. :)
I used to love to catch tadpoles. So fascinating!
Your backyard and patio is so serene and beautiful! It makes me just want to sit out there all day at watch the fish and tadpoles swim around
😍💓💪🏻🐟
the worst parts of your videos is when it ends
I think how your eyebrows match your hair with black and white is such an amazing idea and so cool looking! U r amazing keep up the good work!
Love your frog pond!
Suggest you plant something that will provide shade along one edge of your pond( but won't drop leaves) so that the entire water surface isn't always exposed to the sun.
Shade reduces the algal growth and keeps the water a little cooler obviously.
You are right about tadpoles being vegetarian although they will eat meat if they are hungry enough.
I have White Cloud Mountain minnows in with my tadpoles.They are compatible, don't bother each other, and the fish feed on the algae too which is an added benefit for you.
First
Omg the cute little frogs!!! And the wiggly babies!!!
Hey
Improvisation near your skimmer box.
Thank you for sharing any mistakes or environmental accidents... very helpful.
Nature is a tricky thing.
Predators will definitely come once they know there is “food”... *sigh* a battle
I have the biggest crush on Sarina. Good to see her back since that old interview that you did and still as pretty as ever =)
so cute your dad is wearing a solid gold shirt!
omg seeing the pond brings back some fun memories from my Nan and granddads pond love the idea of keeping the pond frogs how amazing that its naturally come to life.
I really liked this video! Seeing all your animals and the pond outside with its own little ecosystem was neat!
I did both. I made a larger fish pond and used some leftover liner to make a frog pond nearby. Frogs use that because its safer for the tadpoles.
Nice and educational! This is first time someone showed me a tadpole 🙂
ERMAHGERD!!!! The tadpoles are so cute!!!!!😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Hi Jennie!
You could build a screen canopy over the pond to filter some of the sunlight out. Or, a pergola with a screen.
Given the potential threat from Raccoons, it makes sense to keep the pond free of Goldfish. Your Goldfish are gorgeous, and I am one who loves the common "comet" Goldfish as much as their fancier variants, such as Orandas, Pearlscales, Ryikins, Moors and Butterflies. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing this video with us.
What a beautiful bird bathing in your pond! And those frogs sound so different from the ones we have at our pond! So cool to hear the differences across the country! (I'm in WA, & of course you are in FL....😊)
I am terribly scared of frogs but I have to admit is cute to see them in your pond!!
It's amazing how after 24 minutes with Jennie I always want to move to Florida.
I actually had hundreds of toad tadpoles on my pool cover! We rescued what we could & bought them a 110g tub & turned that into a whole eco system & they are just getting their two front legs now!
I’m in Canada Wet (west) Coast and when I was a kid I would get the frog gel with the tiny eggs in it and feed it to our gold fish. Wholly crap did our fish go nuts and grew like crazy. It was awesome.
Wow! you're amazing you're such a big help to those frog's😇😇😇
LOVE the nighttime serenade, SO miss the frogs of SW FL. Suggestion for a couple of plants for your patio bowl pond, a peace lily, pothos and a venus fly trap all like indirect sunlight. Also, you can put some of the baby mollies could be put in your outdoor pond.
I really enjoyed this pond update video. Seeing all the tad poles, and frogs was a real treat! As for your indoor pond plants..my neighbor used kitty litter for his outdoor canna lillys, that out lined parts of his pond. It worked out great in that situation. I think try to replicate the texture of the soil in plants that are thriving. By looking at your potted plants in the pond my guess is they need more soil/ litter mix. They look to be water logged, but I'm no pond plant expert,lol. I do well with my outdoor plants. Snails can do lots of damage, so they might be eating your lily pads. I use a little compost tea made of one part manure to 5 parts water, with molasses, fish sea kelp and it works wonders on growth. Everything gets big and beautiful. I put the manure in a old tshirt and tie it up like a tea bag, then add water then a sweeter like molasses, or honey. That's What Kicks off the beneficial bacteria growth, the fish emulsion and sea kelp are an added boost. After about two days, this compost tea can be used in plants. Diluted a little bc the tea is concentrated. One to five parts is a good dilution. I will reuse the teabag a couple of times before cutting it open and putting into soil or compost bin. Any kind of rich compost soil can be added to manure tea. Just make sure to keep lid on, and store it away from doorways bc it stinks. Great to use on garden plants, and the like. Thanks For Your Awesome video! I look forward to the next one.😊
I completely agree with light algae for koi. I kept alkaline water quality for the first 3 months doing 3 filter cleanings a day with 2 times a week water change, I went to a filter cleaning once a day with once a week water changes and my fish have doubled in size and energy in 1 month.
When I was younger I loved learning everything I could about marine aquatic life and I was kind of an ocean nerd...when I went camping in the rainy summers I used to go outside and and catch frogs it was fun too...until 0ne peed on my hand but I still loved catching the tiny ones...so cute... I never really looked at golf fish or other sort of fresh water fish however...but after watch ing you for some time I learned how unique gold fish really are. Espeacally after when you went to Japan now I have done a lot of research and I am planning to go to Japan after high school. I really hope I can get a fish for 1) after getting home from school I am the only one at my house and I get pretty lonely 2. Even though I live in Florida in the smack middle of it...I really don't get to go to go to beaches or lakes often where I love to see fish and try to identify the species. Anyway I am so happy and inspired with what you do^-^ I FISH you luck on life
Hi Jennie I love your videos!! I have a mini molly pond and I've seen alot of them eating my lilies so I think that's what is eating yours. Thank you for the update I love all your fish and your beautiful pond. So happy the frogs and tadpoles love it too!
My son would luv one of your goldfish if they need a good home. Everything is looking great around your house, nice job Jennifer.
Yay, froggies!🐸💚 I'm green with envy of your pond~
Lovely Video. I love listening to frogs at night.
I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if its been suggested yet, but you should install a motion detection spotlight. So if and when the raccoons come back the lights coming on should scare them off. Or at night play a radio on an AM channel so the voices make them think someone is in the area. We use the radio method in the barns on my parents farm. Hope this helps!
You need to borrow a camera trap to find out who's been having fun in your garden! I've had a camera trap for a few years and I love it 😁.
I don't know if you've experienced this in the past but frogs can be a problem for Goldfish in the mating season as they get so excited they reach a point where they aren't fussy weather they latch onto a frog or a fish anymore! Sadly this can lead to suffocated fish.
Your sister's reaction to the alligator head made me chuckle. 😊
The tadpoles are so cuuuuuute I love themmm
Im so excited for the tadpoles!!Especially because they are a native species!!I cant wait for the tadpoles to turn into frogs!!
Your pond is amazing!
Put a nice waterlilly in. Nice to look at and great for the frogs.
I recently discovered that tree frogs were swimming in our pool at night and there were a few tad pools and a bunch of eggs in the kiddie pool to wash our feet and I saved them and put the in a 20 gal toat with some plants and all the tad pools hatched and grow each day I love watching them swim around as they grow each day☺️☺️☺️
Those tadpoles are adorable!!!
Please show your bunnies more please!! Your pond is gorgeous! Loved this!
I love the longer episodes. This was a good one
Keep your babies in the pool. They are adorable! Well aren't all fish in there own way? 😉😘✌
