yeah thas the idel thing quarry stones... but TriniVdub, how deep is it?
it looking small from here & you breeding cichlids in there too?

[TriniVdub]

^^^na wasn't intentional, it started off with only 2 or 3 cichlids and now they just multiplying. Had a similiar problem when we first got the koi, in the bag had 2 guppies after a couple months they were literally thousands of those lil suckers running around, eventually had to drain the entire pond to get rid of all of them (tossed them in a river).

As for the depth its in layers kinda like steps, on the left side of the pond where the two plants are located in the pic is about 1.5 ft, then from there it drops down to almost 4ft in depth, then back up to another ft or so.

[djblademan]

orr great good dept man... but hear nah.... i'd really like whenever you end up with alot of guppies on your havnd again keep me in mind please i'd like them for feeders... or to even breed over self... thanks. but nice going there you got...wish i had the yard to do something like that...

[TriniVdub]

if i had only known sooner u woulda have enough guppies to last u a two years ...serious talk eh . But i doubt i'll ever have any guppies again as i cleaned out the pond of all them thoroughly. But if i do i'll hit u up

I have a fish question. i have a couple gold fish in a tank 28" * 11" and the water keeps getting brownish after 2 weeks..... i have a normal filtration system with sponge filter, colored stones at the bottom and two fake plants. the tank get a lil glare in the morning, no direct sunlight.

can someone please tell me y the water gets dirty so quickly? i also use the chemical to detoxify the amonia in the water ...

thanks....

[joashmgn]

water gets dirty cuz goldfish are generally very messy fish... their bioload is very high... possibly too high for the sponge filter you have... I'm assuming by sponge filter you are referring to a corner filter (filter floss in a box with some charcoal underneath)...

what i'd recommend is either you get a bigger tank and better filtration or if your wallet does not permit it just upgrade your filtration to a hang on back filter or something...

[djblademan]

& do yuh reg water cahnge....more weekly than every two weeks... every 4 days if yuh could....

Fellas i still hadda sell off my severums... anybody interested?
& my whole setup with the tank filter & stuff...

[TriniVdub]

Rodn3y the best thing is to do what joashmgn said, either upgrade ur filtration system, then your aquarium size. Or if u don't feel like spending the money right now just clean out ur filter every other day. But believe me that gets very tiring after awhile.

[joashmgn]

oh yeah... how cud i forget water changes... its better to do small water changes more frequently than to do large water changes rarely... this ensures that the water chemistry doesn't fluctuate too much... sooo... i think our recommendation would be to

Up your WC schedule... remember this doesn't mean change more water each time!..

Upgrade your filtration system... as TriniVdub said, cleaning it often will be a mofo...

Monitor how much you're feeding them because uneaten food will also contribute to the "brown water" problem you're having... Clear the tank of any uneaten food 5 minutes after feeding...

Also... you could look into purchasing a gravel vacuum that you would use when you are doing your water changes... An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... the gravel vacuum is about 10 pounds of prevention!..

And ultimately you'd either want to upgrade your tank size or reduce the number of goldfish you've got cuz the above steps do not fix the actual issue... they will just arrest it before it becomes a problem...

anything else I left out guys???

check fishy bizzness dinsely they have a variety of tetras and plants

[Rodn3y]

ok will look into the "hang on the back system" i usually use a hose and suck out 1/3 of the water from the bottom of the tank every Saturday and then fill it back up.

i now start to keep fish... hope to get a bigger tank soon with 3 stage filtration system... nyways tanks for the replys.....
