Newb w/ a micro pond

[Ikanahpupok]

Aloha everyone
Im a new member here
I just started my first micro pond
I have guppies on it since they are one of the easiest to take care
And i have small fishes on the top filter
Mainly to eat those pest eggs mosquito
My pond is a 30 gallon from lowes
I have a simple pump to pump the water aboved
Then i added rocks and filter so those dirt will not go back to the bigger pond
Pls feel free to add a sugestion if im doing it the right way

I might get a bigger laguna pond tank and build

Welcome to the GPF!

Guppies are going to breed like, well, guppies. I would just let them control the population on their own if I were you - don't feed them and they'll take care of it.

I have to ask - 100 gallons for how many tilapia? I know they farm raise tilapia in very crowded conditions, but that's one of the reasons why farm raised fish is far less desirable than wild caught - you may be able to keep the fish alive in poor conditions, but it doesn't make for healthy fish.

I end up with a 75 gallon for my guppies
I used tap water
Should i use treatment for the water?
Do i need air pump for them
Or this set up is fine?

Thanx
