Fantastic photos, and beautiful fish in a great environment.

Here are the latest pictures of the Pond inhabitants. These are snapshots from a video I created on 25th March 2022. One of the pictures shows the Java Moss 'creeping' across the woodwork above the waterline.
Pond contains mainly Swordtails and Guppies which have done well in this environment. There is also a thriving colony of Cherry Shrimp.

Few more pictures of the pond. Ran out of upload space on the previous post.

Looks like the fish population has grown considerably

I find myself looking at doing something temperate in my main tank (indoors) thanks to the rise in energy costs!

The problem I’ve always had is keeping the temperature at a reasonable level in summer. I gave up with the fan and now uncover the pond (using a mesh) during hot spells. The overnight cooling of the water prevents the temperature from ‘ramping’ up during the day.
I must admit I didn’t realise that the success rate for the fry would be so high. Luckily I have a few relatives with aquaria I can pass on some of my surplus Swordtails/Guppies.
The Cherry shrimp are also breeding well.
