Well i directly treated the fish. The question is, will the fish be fine in a tank with oxygenating plants from the pond? Or will they need a...
Fish are coming inside after all - just gotta find myself a tank. My goldie has virtually no tail, he's got serious fin rot it seems during the...
Thanks sian, that's definitely food for thought. I will keep my eyes peeled on the weather forecast, make sure it isn't getting too cold at...
Yeah, that's what i had planned. Just the one move if it gets that bad. Hmm.. I will just have to keep an eye on the tub closely so that if...
Thanks Armandii - I feel a little more positive now! I did wonder why it seemed so doomed, but yet some people honestly keep goldfish in a bowl...
Well thanks a lot for the advice Armandii. Having looked into heaters though, i have decided not to get one. My pond is so small, it seems silly...
Yes, i've got it on a plastic rectangle container in the pond to keep it off the bottom :)
Would you suggest using the heater in place of the pond pump during the freezing times then? I only have one outdoor socket.
It is an outside container, yes. What would be the best thing to do over freezing periods? I have had a look in B&Q and they all seemed a bit...
I have taken out the hyacinths now, they are in a bucket trying to catch the sun and will move into a green house soon for winter. Hopefully they...
Can anyone suggest some helpful tips for small container ponds over the cold months then? I am going to bubble wrap my tub, but is there anything...

Hello all I my mini pond container.. 60litres, 70"x40"x30". It has three little fishies in it. However, my tiny lotus pump/fountain is...
Thanks Armandii - it's difficult isn't it when theres lots of different advice and points of view? To be honest at the moment it's a bit easier...
It's all gone now and I guess it's too late anyway really for my two poor goldies. I won't be buying anymore fish, i just started with those 5 and...
Thanks merleworld! Now i have a 2x fairy blue fuchsia's, 3x magellanica fuchsia's, 2x Lady in Black climbing fuchsia's, and this 1x dollar...
I won't! Probably better off i guess having the two shubunkin's and one goldie in my 60litre tub anyway!I know the fish expert man told me not...
Sad news.. Went to check on the poorly and he's gone. Lump of fluff was off his back on the other side of the bucket, probably with his top fin...
Well, it's only a tub for a pond, so it shouldn't need to be raised too much to be fair. Thinking about using a take-away plastic tub container -...
I suppose its more difficult because it's such a small tub pond, everything seems more complicated. Shame i wasn't here when it all went wrong...
