I was reading a article today about Paridise fish and they said it was good to make a summer pond for them They said use a baby pool.

I was wondering If anyone made a pond out of a baby pool?

What was in it (from fish to Plants)?

How did you keep it clean?

Not to stray from question, but I once used the Bath Tub for 10 common Goldfish. 10 for $1.00 kind. If there were not other people living in the house I would do it again.

BACK TO MY QUESTION.

YOu can get a 2ft deep kiddie pool, which would work great, but I'd worry about my neighbourhood cats/raccoons/opossums going fishing.

thats also a threat. birds and cats are are bad, and any bugs with pesticide on em are bad
