So i've decided to go ahead and build a fish pond (no previous experience, just read a bit on the internet before doing it). so i dug a whole in the ground, covered it with cement and added a EPDM wrapper. i filled the pool exactly a week ago on saturday. (just above 200 gallons in my opinion)
I've added water plants a couple of days later...
I've tried a DIY filter solution that was suggested to me - inside the waterfall (which is a large pitcher) i've put special bacteria-friendly gravel and a water plant inside it too... the water pump is 1000 liter/hour.
I haven't added any special ingredient or chemical into the water - just plain water.
My Questions :
- When can i introduce fish to the pond?
- What kind of fish do you recommend? (i live in Israel, Mediterranean climate)
- Do i need to add anything to the water before adding fish?
Also i would like to get some general Feedback on the whole project - i realize its not perfect work because it's my first time and i have practically no experience in these things.
