So as you may or may not know, I have been pondering the idea to get a new 9G Pond for wildlife...Well I decided yes and tore down my 2G pond today instead of cleaning it. I put the fake floating plants in my pond and of course the live plants and those rocks I like. Okay so...Here's my list:
--9 Gallon Planter Pond
--edging --- river rock w\pea gravel...mulch in my new garden after it's done
--a bag of pea gravel for the plants pots, and for around the pond
--More plants (Including a Lotus to replace my dying bloody dock)
--Rosey red minnows(I like fish)--Might not get though!

The hole is dug, the pond is in, plants are in and established water is in....I got a Free Gambusia (Misquito fish) with the water....so after the pond establishes...he will get a few more buddies, and that unknow fish of mine also goes in!

One job down, ten to go! Where did your mosquito fish come from?

LOL! The mosquito fish came wih some water I collected from my brothers, bosses pond...I also got to be hissed at by gesse protecting their goslings(SP?)...and I got to see a pea cock up close....He was TOO cool! I need to get a few rosey reds and a few more mosquitos then wait...till I get my 140G pond to put my goldies\koi in that way the north american fish can have a bigger pond then the 9G can TRUELY be a wildlife pond. My parents anniversery is coming up and she wants the huge pond and she asked in advance and she got the ok...so yea...Ill be installing it sometime soon. I have no Idea on how Im going to edge the 9G pond or what ornaments Im going to buy. Since this pond is into a tropical garden...Ill be buying plants such as: Black magic taro, dwarf papyrus,etc. Maybe Ill buy a tropical water lily too...a lotus is going into the 50G!

I added a crayfish\shrimp (Unknown!) today and it loves it! I am going to put the gravel from my 29G in it.
