Answer by catxcatxx
it depends, where do you live in the world? baby tears won’t tolerate very cold temperatures. it can also be quite invasive and may take over your pond and cause problems for any wildlife or fish.
red ludwigia originates from north america and will tolerate lower temperatures, but not freezing. it can be a little weed-like also.

We have 2 sucking loaches in a tank with 2 goldfish. We were told by Pets at Home that they would be great to keep the aquarium clean and would get on with other fish. They don’t. Now we’ve had them a little longer, and done more research, we know that they’ll just keep attacking the goldfish the bigger they get.
Can they live in ponds outside? We still want to treat them well obviously, but they can’t stay with the goldfish. It’s a wildlife pond, lots of animal life, and a very good size. I just need to know if they’ll survive out there!
I’m considering installing a fairly small pond in my back yard. I’m likely to get a preformed pond liner (maybe 3′x5′ or so, it depends on what I can find for cheap).
But I’d like part (1/3 or less) of the pond to be a bog garden. Partly to give me more plant options, partly to act as kind of a biological filter.
I’d prefer to have the dirt/dirt substitute fill the entire area, rather than just have things in pots (that gives me more options, I think). But I’m not sure if it’s practical, or if it is, how to go about it.
My thought is to get some kind of water-permeable sheeting or fabric, glue and/or silicone seal it (with aquarium-safe silicone) to the side of the pond across the area I want to portion off, then fill the portioned-off area with either dirt (quite possibly some of the dirt I dug out to put the pond in), gravel/marbles/rocks/etc, or something like perlite or vermiculite. Or I could try that polymer gel or something. (if it makes a difference, I live in Arizona, and the dirt around here is generally mineral-rich, very alkaline, and possibly a bit salty)
So, my questions are:
Is there something entirely unworkable about the whole idea?
What should I use for the barrier between the pond and the bog?
How should I attach the barrier to the pond liner?
What should I use as dirt or a dirt substitute?
Question by Susan: 2 goldfish “disappeared” for 6 wks and reappeared after I accidentally left water running all night in my pond?
They’re a little smaller than the others but have grown. Where were they? They definitely weren’t in the pond or the skimmer. I remove the skimmer net to clean it. Could they have gotten behind it and into the pipes that carry the water to the waterfall and stayed there and then got flushed back into the pond?

fish can get themselves into really small and interesting places when they’re in a pond with a pump. That’s why fish tanks have such a fine mesh on the filter input. they were somewhere in the system. be glad that they seem to have come out of it all right. You might want to get smaller screens on your water intakes/around your skimmer setup.

I have a nice clean pond with some koi and common goldfish in it. I have a big Orange and Black Oranda in my 60 gallon tank right now. I’m wondering if he would be happier in a pond or a 60 gallon fish tank. He is about 5inchs long and fat.
