Is it like this
coldwater fish FINALLY

Just read the whole thread.
Goldfish are social animals and should be kept with a friend. 40 gallons is NOT enough for one.
I have 45-gallon barrels and filled them with thick pond liner. You could also try Metal feed tubs, but they use zinc on the walls, which is dangerous for your fish. It just gives it a modern look. It is a tiny pond - a patio pond.
Very simple to set up. 75 bucks a pop.

cool, i got to it before it was removed. i think its against the rules to post threads to other forums, but this was cool.
im getting 4 of them, 2 of them can have fish (no holes on the bottom)
also im getting fancies, and i think they require just around 30-50 something?

Have you looked for aquaculture ponds/ suppliers in your area?
There are fibreglass and plastic aquaculture ponds that are 3-4 foot in diameter and 3 foot high. These are ideal for a few goldfish and some plants. They aren't that expensive either.
Just check on council regulations regarding water depth ad pool fencing, some councils consider ponds as pools and chuck a stink if you don't have a pool fence to stop kids falling in.
You can also grow plants in plastic storage containers.

Nice idea, you'll have do to some more research. If you take your time and plan it wisely you'll come up with something wonderful
I agree. I think what people were saying was cruel was like a normal barrel. Tall, not much of a footprint, and not much of an opening for light, where as it is really more of a wooden tub!

Yeah, I was under the impression that it was an actual barrel, not one of the planter-type things.
Ahaha that is what I figured!
"You don't need to put anything living in a barrel, to be completely honest."
Unless it's yeast to make whiskey, of course

to be fair, i dont know why it is cruel to make a mini pond out of a big barrel, im going to have filter, air pump, and everything needed for a mini pond...

There's an exception to every rule!
Please see my earlier reply.
I'm assuming that mj and PK were thinking this, too.
