    This my pond. It has an external filter doing +-1100L/H.

    Currently it has the following plants:

    Cyperus papyrus
    Water Hyachints - Eichhornia crassipes
    salvinia sp.
    egeria densa
    valisneria gigantea (creio)
    and another two non-identified species

    It has 6 barbs of a non-identified species

    Here are the photos:

    I'm planning for some small G. meridionalis all year around.

    As I've already mentioned i'm tempted into dumping my tanganyikas in the pond for a summer camp. My major fear is excess temperature.

    I've measured the temperature and the found the range acceptable and have decided to try it out with 12 Julies transcriptus Gombe, one leleupi, one telmatochromis sp temporalis shell and a two gold occies.
