Hi all,
I recently got a barrel pond, complete with hiding tubes, oxygen weed, pennywort plant and three goldfish (2 comets, 1 shubunken). I was wondering what people can recommend as far as keeping things nice and healthy for the fish?
e.g. What's the best techniques people have for cleaning?
What products are a must?
Food recommendations?
Should/can I get a snail to live in the pond too?
Also, the 3 goldfish don't seem to be winning vs a rather large number of mosquito larvae that keep appearing - anything I can do? I figure the goldfish are still quite small (6ish cm) so will eat more as they get older, and I scoop out the excess larvae when I can, anything else?
Thanks!
RW
