IAM looking to make my pond bigger by digging another one by the side and joining them by making a 10 inch round hole using a plastic pipe between the old pond and new one so fish can go yfrom one pond to another the original pond is rubber liner.
Is this possible if so what sort of pipe would you recommend.

Hello and welcome!

It might be more helpful if you could include a bunch of pictures of your current set-up.

Maybe drainage pipe? They make that stuff pretty large. It's that corregated black plastic stuff. Members here have used that in their bogs for what is called a centipede. Maybe there's fittings for that that can make a seal.

I include a couple of photos the tube/tunnel would go under the tiles IAM digging out plants and making hole deeper it's about 3foot square the new bit going down to 4 feet deep.
