Hey y'all!
Yes, I'm looking to build an outdoor pond about 15 gallons (I haven't confirmed, just guessing). I have the container, a metal oval tub, that I plan to line with pond liner. I have extra gravel and sand, and plenty of aquarium plants that I can put in, mostly crypts, java, rotala, and salvinia minima. Probably some pothos cuttings too. Right now, I don't plan on a heater, filter, or aerator, basically nothing electrical. Walstad approach, if you will.
And my main question was whether it would be feasible to put livestock in there. Maybe not fish, since it is a small space for there to be no filter, but could I do shrimp or snails? Or any ideas are good too.
