goldenswimmers Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Due to a change in locations I've had to move the pond set up "indoors" and so now the guys are in some tanks instead of the great outdoors...much easier to take pics though!.... anyways here are some of the new set up Im using for the young(teenager)ranchu....bit of credit goes to Wolfgang for the awesome plants and to Mat(matmatmat)too for the great idea of creating "islands" of plants with larger pebbles to stop the guys from getting into any substrate holding the plants in place...

Inkozana Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Oh I see, good idea! I will look at getting a ceramic base for my island :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 you could even put a few small islands...I grabbed some terracotta bases from bunnings(check the bottom to make sure they are waterproof)...different sizes so you can get a little creative with it ...

goldenswimmers Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 and then chuck in your hikari(sinking if its lionhead) in the corners etc away from the "islands"...alot easier to keep clean too with these waste machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve6610 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 hmmm not a bad idea, could work with a few different fish, i like............ we think we got our ibc sorted today, fingers crossed its not leaking tomorrow, then we can prime it and get it ready for moving the comets, that will free up our 500lt tub for some of your bubs we got, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Looks great ! Did you find the fish act funny after comming out of the pond?
