i know this is an old thread. But i love this idea. Congrats

of course its Marlborough, you don' t get better views, better weather and better wines than in Marlborough :happy2: and Im a "she" :slfg:

that would give someone a big fright alright :sml1:

Hi, did you end up doing it? I would love to see photos of your pond with the axolotls.

cheers guys. yesterday i gave my parents the 2 shubunkins that were very big. They have a pig pond at their house. I also went to grab some oxygen weed from springcreek ( blenheim) to add to my ponds. The wine barrel was really old and the fish have been in there for a few years. they didnt get drunk, or maybe they did and its why they are so brightly coloured :sml1: My next project is getting another wine barrel cut longways to make an axolotl tank. Maybe next year when we have old barrels again

:cofn: Hi guys, Just thought i'd introduce myself. I've had a half barrel of wine as a pond with four goldfish in it for 4 years. they have been doing great. But ive now started to add some plants with them. So hopefully they will be happier :happy2: I also just intalled a 750Liters pond with 6 shubunkins ( biggest one is 15 cm) and 3 goldfish ( 9 cm). there are heaps of young plants , i cant wait until they get bigger . is that too many fish for the size of the tank? I dont have a filter/ fountain... for both, i just put the hose in the ponds every 10 days for a few minutes. the fish are happy and getting big. Ill take some photos of the 2 ponds tonight. Just bare in mind they are both new
