Wanting To Make A Really Cheap Heaterless Indoor Pond

[bunlet]

For fish I think whitecloud minnows, or paradise, bettas? Anyone ever make one or have good ideas. Was thinking a kiddie pool or one of those big plastic containers and a diy canister filter. Anyone ever make one and what did ya use?

I always thought it would be pretty to use a very large flower but that was plastic and didn't have the drainage hole in the bottom or a ceramic one with a plastic liner.

Hi,

Have you seen the pop up ponds you can get, they come in different sizes and some have clear sides so you can see the fish through heres a picture of a 15 gallon one http/cgi.ebay.com/POP-UP-AQUARIUM-15-GAL...1QQcmdZViewItem

I'd be afraid of a 'pop up' pond. What if the pond randomly 'popped down' or if a dog, cat, or kid, bumped into it?

I have made 3 indoor ponds. I finished my most recent last week. I used a mixing tub (3' x 5' and 10" high) and lined it with thick black plastic because the tub is gray and shows algae and slim to easy. I bought some pine planks and built a "fence" to go around it and put a lip ontop with a couple of small shelfs in the corner for plants or candles. I have a pump/filter combo that works just fine, I clean it out a couple times a month. I have goldfish in it and I have added some water lilies to this pond. I can email you a picture if you'd like.
