Hello Fishlorians, hope you're all well
I have been given a 1mx1mx70cm free-standing pond. Currently it has water in it and a solar-powered pump and filter combo... and that's it!
As a complete novice to pond-keeping, I'd really appreciate any advice/suggestions around:
- cycling the water (does it differ from an indoor aquarium?)
- Suitable size plants that are low maintenance/good for beginners
- How on earth to add/plant said plants?
- Suitable fish for this size outdoor pond
It's a blank slate at the moment and I have no pre-conceived ideas of what I want it to look like or contain, so all suggestions welcome and appreciated! We can call it the Fishlorian Community Pond as the whole community here will have helped me create it!
Thanks in advance!
