Ix nay on the oi kay
2 goldfish are about it for my 75 gallon monster. I gave away 8 or 9
babies that didn't get eaten by mom and dad and i have one that
survived and i will probably just keep it.....not sure yet. I dont
want to keep an off spring unless it's really cool looking. Good
reason to get rid of them while they are still brown....

I have creeping primrose, anacharis, taro, parrot feather, and water
celery. The rain and toadpoles took every last speck of azolla. The
roots have greatly deminished the space the fish have. I tried pulling
some out. I am thinking about making this pond cleaning weekend.

Good luck. When you are done maybe post pics?

I have a 75 gallon tub which I will be setting up as a patio pond, I have
build a fluid bed filter with plans someone on the NG recommended, but now I
need to decide what to put in it. I want plants and a few fish.

Please suggest some flora and fauna combinations, I would like a Lilly and
thought either a few shubunkins or even White Cloud Mountain Minnows
(Tanichthys albonubes).

White clouds look very nice in a tank, not sure how much color you
can see from the top...

Rosy Reds are hardy, visible and active.

Mosquito fish, hardy, not as visible as rosys.

A single 2-3" koi and don't feed it so it won't outgrow the tub too fast.

Someone recently posted about a small container that overheated
so beware of that.
