Mini Pond in the Balcony for Guppies

Join this channel to get access to perks: Making a simple mini pond in the balcony for guppies I have used a FRP tub which holds about 10 gallons of water. Aquatic plant cuttings from my other tanks were used for this build to introduce beneficial bacterial into the tank quickly. The pond setup was filmed over a period of 2 days. I moved the pond to the corner of the balcony during the first full water change The wild guppies were added after 5 days and after two water changes. I also added an air pump to the pond to keep it well aerated.
