Keeping Goldfish/Koi in Ponds?

By on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 | 1 Comment

I was thinking about building a medium-sized pond for some goldfish or Koi, however I do not have the slightest clue on keeping goldfish/koi in ponds, help me out?

1) First of all, which breed does better in outdoor ponds?

2) The weather here can be really hot, or really cold. In the winter it sometimes goes below the freezing point and it will snow sometimes as well, it also rains A LOT, the usual weather is drizzly and gray, however in the summer it is usually quite warm and sunny.

3) When it does get cold is there some sort of heater I could put in the pond??

4) I’ve heard that goldfish can survive in temperatures just above freezing, can Koi?

5) I know that you must completely cycle an aquarium, do you have to cycle a pond? If you do, how do you do it?

6) What material works the best with a pond? Such as: bricks, cement etc, walls floors etc…?

7) Can you put plants and decorations in a pond that was made of brick or any other material?
8) Do Goldfish do better in ponds than aquariums?

9) What kind of filters are needed?

10) Anything Else would be a great help!!
oOo Thank You!! oOo

Also any ideas, photos, or links would be great!

Do gold fish grow better in concrete ponds than in aquariums?

By on Sunday, April 11th, 2010 | 5 Comments

I have been keeping gold fish for about 14 months. I feed them canned tropical fish food and vegetables like cucumbers and spinach,twice a day. They have a very good appetite and are very healthy and lively.Though they have grown a little bit I think their growth is too slow. Is there anything I can do to enhance their growth? And do they grow faster in backyard ponds than in glass aquariums?

4th REPOST! Do desert Lizards like ponds?

By on Saturday, March 27th, 2010 | 5 Comments

I have made up my mind and I want to get an Haitian Curly Tailed Lizard! (yaaaaay!) But I was wondering If I could create a little pond just about half the height of this body somehow and if he/she would like that. I know they’re desert lizards but I was wondering if they ever wanted to cool off he/she could chill in there, and also it would look really cool. Would I also need to put special chemicals, heat the water or just keep it room temperature? etc. etc.

If they would like a little tiny pond, what do you suggest I make it out of? I was thinking a little hard plastic container like one from the greenhouse for garden ponds or maybe plastic TV dinner trays, or maybe a plexiglass piece separating a little section of the tank and sealed with a aquarium safe sealer.

Good ideas?Thanks for help, 10 pts best answer!
