Clare Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi all, I've just joined this group. I'm interested in freshwater aquaria, and have a few different species of fish. I'm in Christchurch, and am looking at setting up a goldfish pond... That's my project for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi Clare, Iv'e been looking at setting up a fish pond for almost 25 years now. One day I will get around to it - or get around to someone doing it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Welcome Clare. I live just down the road - 80 kilometers down the road. If setting up a goldfish pond I suggest that you visit Water world in Blenheim Road. If you have not already done so. They have quite a set up and you may get even more ideas from there. Let us know how it all goes. May the weather be kind to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Hi Clare, A word of warning... I started with an outdoor pond once, then moved a few fry indoors to protect them. Bought a plastic bowl, then glass tank to house them. A couple of plants later and another couple of species and the temp went up. Guppies, then plecos. Higher temps and the goldfish went back outside. Its a trap. Stop now! :-? Welcome and good luck peety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clare Posted November 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi all, and thanks for the warm welcome! I have neon tetras, angelfish, plecos, guppies and chinese algae eaters in assorted tanks, as well as a large tank for the goldfish. Thanks for the advice re Water WOrld - it's great! I'll let you know how i get on with the pond! Clare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
