mavwar 5 Posted August 30, 2012 http://www.youtube.c...bed/TXSlXzkjrGs Sad to say though the big red oranda and black moor died of some bacterial infection, I was only able to save Corkee (small red oranda). I will post pics of my seven juvies later, they're getting bigger everyday with the gel food I learn to make from this forum. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakaho 6,312 Posted August 31, 2012 Sorry about your lost fish. The pond is pretty. How is it constructed? Is it sealed concrete? I like the little trickle filter. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lg9856 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Interesting that one of your fish died in a pond. I've never lost any fish while I've had a pond, I find the pond environment to be much more natural and stable. Very similar to their natural environment. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very similar to their natural environment. I transfer a 2 week quarantined ryukin in the pond. I thought he is healthy enough to be transferred. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pearlscaleperfect 3,561 Posted September 1, 2012 Excuse my total ignorance by does the Philippines stay warm year round? Those pearlies may have to be moved inside for the winter if not. If it's warm all year round I think they'll really thrive in a smaller pond like you have. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's warm all year round I think they'll really thrive in a smaller pond like you have. We only have sunny and rainy season. Heat will be our only problem here during summer season about 90-100 deg F. During that time my pond has full sun so i cover with tarp to shade them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pearlscaleperfect 3,561 Posted September 1, 2012 Are pearlscales readily available in the Philippines? I know they do better when kept in shallow ponds or tubs outdoors (weather permitting) so I'm curious! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dnalex 13,633 Posted February 19, 2013 Very nice! They certainly have grown quite a bit in less than half a year! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakaho 6,312 Posted February 19, 2013 You know, I haven't seen much if any increase in the growth rate of long-bodied fish when I move them from an aquarium to a pond. But the fancies grow so much faster outside then inside that I notice the change every week. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany_King 21 Posted February 27, 2013 Wow you're amazing! I can't get any of mine to grow :/ even after a year. They just get dropsy ugh. I'm switching to buying baby fish if I get anymore + a new tank 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
