    For interest sake.

    after selling most of my pond guppies, I was left with a lot of juveniles.

    put them in a large tub, filled with pond water and a lot of water cabbage and a 150w heater.

    Water is circulated, no filtration. All seems happy

    Interesting setup.
    Looks good.
    Hopefully the plants will help keep the water clean.

    I love that inverted bowl ‘tower’ and the guppies seem to love it too :)

    I thought these pond guppies normally survive the winter outside
