My Pond in a pot
 

3 feeder goldfish. 4 plants. 1 fish jumped out after a week. Seems like
I'm growing some algae on the walls of the pot, and today I noticed "scum"
on the surface. Comments? I can post a photo somewhere if viewing the pot
would help with critiques. Thanks.

Would love to see a picture. Algae on walls good. Scum on surface not so
good, keeps O2 from exchanging with water. Another reason for surface
movement. ~ jan

Not a good service, to view your photos, you first need to sign in to
Yahoo, then join Flickr.

You don't need to do any of that with Photobucket.

I get [after I signed in to Yahoo] a page saying it is private.

It is simpler to share photos on photobucket.com, or
http://theimagehosting.com/ - neither require the folks who want to
see your pictures to sign in. [I'm sure there are others but I
haven't looked for one in years.]

That's neat!

I put a bucket filter in a barrel and 4 goldfish survive there and my
wife likes the splashing water. Just put up a picture today.

Cool!!!! JDS, I have 3 of those same pots! And I totally forgot what I do
to stop stagnation. Okay... one does have a pump with spitter... because I
just can't leave a quiet pool alone I guess. roll eyes But the other 2...
DS has all 3 hooked to drip system, when sprinklers come on they overflow a
bit every other day. I have used baby goldfish in the past, tadpoles last
year... and this year, some of the straight tailed wakins will go in them
for skeeter control.

Yours looks very cute! I put irises from the koi pond in mine, along with
floating islands of water cress & creeping jenny, and a canna I've
conditioned to water. Between 2 of them I have a bench seat that sits on
the edge of them. ~ jan

Really nice. I'd keep water level low enough so fish don't jump out.
I lost a couple in my round tub "fish hotel" while rebuilding my pond
last year.

Read reviews, pros & cons.

I had one with a large solar panel years ago. Direct sunlight was a must. I
liked having water movement though... and at that time the lily pond was
just for frogs to breed, and a few goldfish in summer. The next year I ran
an extension cord ugly... The year after, for mother's day, DS & DH, gave
me underground wiring. Thus... it was time to install the BIG filter
outside the pond and none too soon, since my neighbors complained about the
frog's nightly music. Frogs have since been relocated to other side of
house and smaller digs, wakins and fantails stay in the pond year 'round.

Hal, your yard is so gorgeous... but... I don't know, seems wife needs an
upgrade on her musical pond container. ;-) It is a nice pretty bright white
though. Maybe the grandkids could draw some flowers on it? ~ jan

I think 9" would be too big for my little pot. But I may try sometime.

Anything smaller out there?
