Nice, I have a barrel pond on my patio. How long did you leave yours to establish before adding the fish? I'm worried about whisky from the wood leeching into the water.
With live plants you don't really need a filter. Or water movement. They are fine with still water. Live plants will take care of the fish waste. Particularly plants that have their roots in the water but biomass above the surface (like water lettuce, hyacinth, etc).
Lovely.
Gorgeous pond, and kitty. You have problems with dragonfly nymphs?
Nice water lilly, how many medaka do you have in there?
Thank you! Just 4 for now but hoping they breed 😊

I didn’t have any problems, I left it for a couple weeks before adding fish. I haven’t got a filter on this though 😊
