Goldfish only

The pond is full - but the level is lower than we would like. We are waiting for the landscapers to install a ballcock under the deck. No hurry though as fish are semi hibernating anyway so we don't want to transfer them to the big pond until it is warmer. Pond has just water in it at the moment.

Make sure you test it works correctly before you go.

Surely there is room on the lifestyle block for a POND!!?? :lol:

I have just noticed, at 4.45pm that there is still ice on a good section of the pond surface! Lovely sunny day though cold. Wok: Grant was going to put his little remote controlled boat on top of the ice then say how he should have got an ice breaker instead :lol: Ira: Be grateful the only piles you have are ones of hail

At 11.45 this morning our big pond was still iced over. Thin, but iced

Can't see how the filter cartridge would affect pH. Just reasonably big fish and few plants will change the pH.

If you have a tank with nothing in it but plants and water, it will not cycle if left on its own for 3 weeks.

Swords and platies will crossbreed. Guppies and platies won't, nor will mollies and platies or mollies and guppies. All are members of the Poeciliidae family which are freshwater live bearing fish. This doesn't mean they might not TRY to interbreed. The males are notoriously not fussy what they attempt to breed with.

If they survived the fire I am sure they would survive the aftermath if the water surface and filters were cleaned.

Most impressive. As said - MORE PICS!!

Check the water in your tank. It is possible your ammonia etc levels are too high. The original inhabitants have got used to less than ideal conditions but the new fish can't cope with the sudden introduction and die, leaving the originals happy as Larry. Of course, the new guppies may have got the white spot from the stress of transport etc. but not necessarily.

If you have a quarantine station of course

What fish are you keeping? Nothing wrong with 7.6 for many species.

Unless you have a very densely planted tank the eggs will be eaten
