Me! I have a 27G patio pond that I built for less than $80 including fish and plants! I've got longfin gold and leopard danios, a rescued red-tailed shark, albino gold mystery snails, water hyacinth (and some "pest" snails they brought with them), aponogeton, water onion, duckweed, anubias, java windelov, and anacharis. I have a sponge filter, and a little shelf I made into a trickling waterfall too. I found the liner that you suggested at home depot, and I think I'm going to get one, since I like the round shape better, and I'm using a rectangular container.
PSH are you kidding?! Those ledges are a GODSEND. You can put potted plants on them and grow some crazy Amazon swords or other plants, along with plants that grow into the water to provide cover for your fish!
This is super cool! I want to do a smaller one like this. I recycled a broken kiddie pool and put pond liner in it, and dug it in in the backyard and recently had tadpoles turn to frogs! I posted a quick video of it if yall wanna see!
I love the little frog pot ;-; . Oh! How about adding some solar power lights next to the pond ? We have some in our ponds and have it to were u can see them at night but they still have places to hide from the light .
I wish I could have a pond! Unfortunately, one dog would end up in the pond and the other likes trying to catch fish so... This is why I can't have nice things, haha! I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!
Great video! You’ve given me so many ideas for how to do my first pond and it’s a relief to know it doesn’t have to cost the earth and can be mobile! Awesome work man. Looking forward to seeing the next vids in the series.
Great to see someone with the same hobby !! I have similar set up but in a larger setup. I have 3 tiered fish pond, the first upper level is approx 250cmx250cmx100cm deep (8ftx8ftx3ft depth) and filled with water hyacinth for major filtering purpose, no fish. Middle level pond is roughly 300cmx300cmx60cm deep (10ftx10ftx2ft), with tilapias as fish (they breed like crazy) and dwarf water bamboo plants in pots with gravel as media (dwarf water bamboos are so hardy that they don’t mind what kind of media you use such as earth, sand, or gravel). The bottom pond is the largest one 400cmx300cmx120cm deep (13ftx10ftx4ft deep), with koi fish, and water poppy (provides shade) + echinodorus palaefolius (locally here they are called water jasmine) as plants. The reason I use hardly and easy to care for plants is because I’m too lazy to care for them (other than reducing their numbers; especially water hyacinth and water poppy since they grow so fast). I live in tropical weather and these plants thrive here.
I loved this so much. I wish I could have a pond, but every time we try, the neighborhood raccoons destroy it. Doesn't matter where we put it, what's in it... They annihilated everything,every time. So no ponds for us. I'll have to live that pond life vicariously through you 🤣
aguyandhiscomputer 1. Get a cage 2. Get at least 29 more cages because there's a horde of them. 3. Catch them and figure out where to put them 4. Build pond and enjoy. LOL. There's too many, it's illegal to kill them because they're not a threat. They don't carry rabies here and are, somehow, fairly friendly. Anywho, as much as I'd like a pond, it's not going to happen at this particular house. I could never hurt a raccoon anyway, they're just doing as they do. It's also illegal to trap and release them elsewhere lol.
We had a 2’ x 6’ x 3’ deep metal stock tank in the ground fish pond just off our back deck for 11 years. We had water lilies and arrow plant potted in the base of tank and a rush plant on top of 2 cement blocks on one end. Also had floating plants. Originally added 8 3” gold fish that later multiplied to 14 over time. We put in a filter system on the outside of pond with a waterfall entry to run during the spring, summer & fall + a ‘bubbler’ all year round. Had a piece of cork wood that birds could land on in the center as well. Added a stock tank heater during the winter to keep the fish alive. This was in northeast corner of Kansas. Planted a variety of annuals, perennials and a rose bush on 3 sides of the pond. Loved sitting on our deck listening to the water fall and the many insects and frogs that also enjoyed the area.
Great idea, however direction we taking is habitat for frogs n birds, and do things to conserve water naturally like from rain. We live between zone 5&6. 😊
This is awesome. I made a pond just like this using a tree pot from Lowe’s. I put 9 guppies in there at the start of the summer and they’re multiplying like crazy
I have a little plastic patio pond with a bamboo foutain I got from a friend. I went out to my retention pond and caught some minnows to stock it. You need to get a plant called parrots feather. It's really beautiful and would work great up top. The mint you where talking about will make a huge root mass that would clog your holes in the top very quickly. Overall though it look great. I love watching your videos and am glad you are starting to do some new things.
And small flowering plants would be good beside the shelf of grassweed I think. The frog pot was a great idea. It adds a nice touch The brown dirt is alright, but it makes it look less cleaner than say...smooth gray/black rocks or white smooth pebbles. Would it be nice to add a "zen" rock, a big jagged one, so you can grow moss on the rock or some succelent varieties? Behind the plants so it adds a nice backdrop?
Temperate species like white clouds or danios would probably do well in there, dwarf Mexican crays would be really cool but you’d have to figure out a way to stop them from escaping
Triassic Fisherman I second this idea! Some bluegill would be nice and they're super hardy and easy to car for. Plus free! Just go net them in pretty much any body of freshwater you can find
I have a 10 gal pond in my front yard under a small tree. I made a waterfall for it. The fish I choose are some of my fancy guppies from my breeding tank
Add some White Cloud Mountain minnows. It would be awesome to see a massive shoal of them and it would only take a few months for them to procreate to that degree.
Love it! I did one in a half whiskey barrel and it’s on my front porch. It looks amazing and I have 8 little goldfish that I love to watch. I use the small AQUAScape container garden pump/filter and I have several plants in it as well. So far the water is clear and everything seems healthy. 🤞🏻 I’m a little worried about the heat this summer(Florida). Again, thanks for sharing!
@@xburningindigo Ive learned a lot this past year about fish keeping, specifically goldfish. I realized it was WAY overstocked with goldfish. They are huge poop producers and I had not cycled the water to make it safe for them. I upgraded to a 40 gl tub but The water still got very hot as it was above ground. I eventually re-homed those fish and upgraded to a 100 gallon stock tank from tractor supply. I stocked it with 8 oranda goldfish instead of common goldfish as they don’t grow quite as large. I have lots of filtration and plants and do 75% water changes every week. It’s in my air conditioned and heated sunroom so it’s out of the elements. There was a lot to learn but I love it! Best of luck!
I like it!!! I was just at home depot looking at one of these, but kind of had my heart set on a kidney shape pond... but you have given me some great ideas!!!
hey AQUAPROS GREAT POND VIDEO TO KEEP COST DOWN I DONE THE FOLLOWING: I USED GLUE AND SAND FOR THE BASE COLOURING SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY ( $10 IN TOTAL I THINK ) I ALSO USED 3 PIECES OF A LOG CUT TO SIZE TO MAKE FEET FOR THE BASE. ONCE LEVEL /SANDED THEY WORK A TREAT. GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Wow Water features and ponds are all the rage these days on youtube,I love it because I too setup a couple of tub-ponds stocked with huge florida strain sailfin mollies,yelllow and dalmation mollies.I have baby fish for days Mike so be ready for that when you contemplate what your going to put in the pond.LOL
If I wanted to DIY my own water Lily pond, I wouldn't need a filter or any pumps other than that to drain out the water right? I was thinking of using it just for plants or lilies, no fishes. This is such a great idea! I need this in my life!! 🙌💚🌱
That is a lovely little pond, wish we had something similar over here. I made myself a filter housing in pottery class in the shape of a fish and bought a plastic round planter for a mini pond which I'm quite excited with :) I'll have to do a vid soon
The Megan Experience The fish take care of the mosquito problem. I live in SoCal and they can be a problem but with adequate plants and fish they really weren’t even an issue.
@AquaPros. You should of taken your time to draw on this project, I feel like. By sacrificing one shelf to make two holes for Surface skimming and overflow (in case of rain water). Using one net basket and some random plastic or netting. You could of sectioned off an area for the pipes then place a simple Net from one of those cheat butterfly catchers to create a surface skimmer for debris like leaves etcetera. Then the space around the empty void. Fill with gravel and plant something. The water will flow over the plant and act as a natural extra debris catcher. Then, a bit of black fly net siliconed to that particular shelf and cut open holes to plant in the net together with Java moss. So it becomes a cliff of plants, essentially. Then continue like before. Pump pushes the water up into that biological filter, which I suggest is placed underneath the gravel. Creating a semi-aquaponic system. Overflowing into the pond again. Once the tank was established... With a pretty much moss cliff with select few spots of planting. Throw in some shrimp you intend to cull and voila!
Looking great mate. I have an old whiskey barrel that hangs out in the garden in the summer, trying to raise some fancy goldy fry this summer. I went buy my usual annual water lettuce and hyacinth only to find out it's been banned here in the UK! Along without elodea, my go to moves in the pond! I like your filter a lot, I run something similar on my koi pond, I use Norfolk reeds, iris and Marsh marigold in mine, mint was way too invasive for me and blocked up all my pipework a couple of summers back! Good Times
What a Cute pond ! You did a Awesome job, and love all the water plants.. Also love the sand on the bottom. Def post more videos, and keep us updated with the fish you add.. Great Pond ! 🐠🐸🐠🐸
I have a 25 gallon half barrel pond in my front yard, right by the steps to the front door. I had it for about 6 years, I think, but this last winter it froze solid and killed everything. It was always a nature pond, so no filtration. This year I got a bunch of aerator plants and some cattails and a water lily and some fish, but the cattails aren't doing too well. I think the birds are sitting on them and bending them. One of the plants died. I'll see how it goes as the summer progresses. I would like to get another pond with a filter, so I can more fish, but I have a very small yard and no place for one. Plus, I've heard a lot of those filters use tons of electricity and are super expensive to operate and I'm cheap. My pond requires no maintenance at all. I just add water if it's low. But because I keep a lot of plants and low fish I've never had a problem and only once in 6 years did I ever have green water. I got some string algae. :/

Guppys or danios
I've got a 200 gal, in-ground pond with a waterfall - I love all of the wildlife it brings to my yard.
I believe I have found the right size pond for my mancave.
Bromley's Aquatic Life smell will always be a factor don’t forget. Maybe if you had a nice mistifier air freshener it would work
Man i haven't heard the word mancave in years
A manpond perhaps???

I always enjoy seeing how others do their patio/backyard ponds.
Large clay pots were cheaper than plastic ponds, so I got a 80ltr one and painted it with pond paint. It's got goldfish and plants in it.
how did you seal the hole in the bottom?
walks onhoney FLEX SEAL
How many goldfish? Hope not more than two in just 80ltr. Goldies need a lot of space
I don't know where you live but im my area such a pond would completely freeze to the bottom in winter :p
walks onhoney I had an acrylic off cut and siliconed it over the hole.

I guess you could put a cage around the pond if you get a small one?
Go to a lake and catch minnows! There are some awesome little minnows 🐠💚👍
"Idk why Im kicking this around" *proceeds to kick it*
nice use of kiddie pools for growing extra plants!
I was really proud of my little pond project from this weekend but now it just looks pitiful compared to that gorgeous little pond.
Hey, it's still one more pond than I have.
Think this is a neat idea and we might try this out soon

Btw beginning when he was kicking the pond he was actually showing off his white shoes lol
Great video man , you could add Swordtail Fish to the pond , thy are very hardy fish and look amazing ^^
Lost World yes and guppies and mollies
Hellgirl lives In spotlight guppies and mollies arnt suitable for ponds..
I almost bought that pond from HD on Sunday. Love the HOB planter/filter
I wonder what kind of plants would prevent mosquitoes from egging on my pond.
Kodojak M if you have a lake near you grab some mosquitoe fish
Fish will eat the larvae. Problem solved.
Guppies love it
Kodojak M lemongrass plants
put a snapping turtle in it
I get cattails, iris,pond lily pads and bull-rush from my moms natural pond, any water plant in nature for my big plastic pond. Works great.
the ufos are spreading all over your channel 😂
Great little pond. Good idea them being made with shelves
Looks wonderful
Loved it bro. It turned out great!!
Finally been waiting for someone to do a small little pond
Some more hardy fish will be great such as white cloud mountain minnows and rosy red minnows
Pear Fishing and goldfish
Goldfish get large and create too much waste
Pear Fishing yea true I have a 300 gal in ground pond with about 5 of them and they are great, and they are pretty big.
Mosquito fish or some mollies would be great. I put them in all my ponds
Pear Fishing goldfish are members of the carp family, they will grow HUGE just like koi fish do, especially in the wild !
im all about the koi pond life👍
out of all the aquarium people on youtube i think youre my favorite i love watching your project videos the most

I have an aquascape patio pond and it’s awesome, if you have a bit of a higher budget I would highly recommend it
Yooo this is perfect timing! Just picked up a mini pond about the same size a week ago and have been needing some inspiration on it.
Temperate species like white clouds or danios would probably do well in there, dwarf Mexican crays would be really cool but you’d have to figure out a way to stop them from escaping
I think some paradise fish would be cool to see in the pond.
mosquito fish, crayfish, and bluegill or sunfish

GREAT POND VIDEO
TO KEEP COST DOWN I DONE THE FOLLOWING:
I USED GLUE AND SAND FOR THE BASE COLOURING
SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY ( $10 IN TOTAL I THINK )
I ALSO USED 3 PIECES OF A LOG CUT TO SIZE
TO MAKE FEET FOR THE BASE. ONCE LEVEL /SANDED
THEY WORK A TREAT.
GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GOOD

Wow Water features and ponds are all the rage these days on youtube,I love it because I too setup a couple of tub-ponds stocked with huge florida strain sailfin mollies,yelllow and dalmation mollies.I have baby fish for days Mike so be ready for that when you contemplate what your going to put in the pond.LOL
Perfect timing! I really wanted one of these with white clouds or something like that now I have to convince my parents :D
Googly eyed goldfish the move , they have amazing personalities
Your pond looks beautiful!!! Definitely inspired to have a go myself!!! Many thanks!!
you could probably get away with some mosquito fish in there to keep any water pests in check, they're very hearty and they breed like rabbits.
Shrimp, rosy loaches, gold white mountain minnows. The built in shelves are nice for potted plants.
Endlers! There are a bunch of annuals that would look nice and do well outside. They'll eat mosquito larvae too!
I'm lovin' my waterfall,and now after watching this video I'm going to make a pond for my deck. Thank you for the great tips 😀
Very interesting. Thanks 👍

“I don’t know why I’m kicking it around” (kicks it again)
Very nice and I can't wait to see what type of fish you will add.
Out of curiosity, what is your electric bill every month for all these aquarium pumps and filters?
Take the wattage of specific pump and multiply by number days you run pump...this is what someone told me.
Yes can you please build more ponds dude, please.
Clicked right away
I think that you should add a few rocks and then maybe a school of minnows
😩 All excited then. Can't wait for paludarium part 2 😏
Cool plants

I’d like to see guppies or platties in the pond :)
I WILL convince my parents to get a pond for our garden by showing this ahahahah
I really want to try and make one of these this summer
Backyard mini pond? More like mosquito hatchery here in FL 😭
The Megan Experience The fish take care of the mosquito problem. I live in SoCal and they can be a problem but with adequate plants and fish they really weren’t even an issue.
Moving water eliminates mosquitoes.
Depends on what type of fish inhabit the mini pond
Put a dozen guppies in there. You'll never have any mosquitoes.
Put any type of Guppies or Female Betta... You won't have trouble of Mosquito Larvae...
Beautiful
gonna make myself a bedroom pond now
Add some gold white cloud minnows!
This thing is awesome. My wife wants a pond. I’m going to show her this one bc it’s cheap and fast. Thank you. Keep’em coming
