Fun with half a barrel

[sharuq1]

Just a few pics of my little half barrel pond. I used a 20g muck bucket for the liner because the barrel leaks. I have a heater set at 67 in there and a small little internal filter. The pond is stocked with a kuhli loach, horseface loach, 12 or so white clouds and an unknown fish the kids pulled out of a pond in town. I threw a couple cherry shrimp in there, but it's likely the loaches ate them The water lily with the larger leaves is from Canadian Tire (the one that is blooming) along with the duckweed. The smaller lily is from Wal Mart (one of those dry packaged ones). The pond contains 2 small pieces of driftwood and has multicolored gravel on the bottom
