Still active in the hobby? I just setup the same pond and am in VB. Pothos can take a lot. I broke apart the pot washed off all of the dirt and have the roots just dangling in the water. They’ve been putting up new leaves as well, so it seems that they are happy.
I did the same thing mind you I got my bucket for 10 dollars at goodwill spent 70$ on the filter and 20 dollars on air bubbler and 10$ on frogbit plants and 29$ on substrate and 30$ in heater and 6 guppies for 30$ and 10$ in fish food total Canadian currency amount is 210$
ummmm is that plant in soil....if so i doubt it will survive in that water golden pothos hate wet feet its either you put them in just water alone to develop water roots or a growing medium like clay pebbles or gravel but not with soil the roots will rot
Hi Antonio, thanks for the advice! In our area we only have 4-5 months of pond season. It didn't have any problems in that amount if time. In fact the roots grew all the way to the bottom, and the plant grew so much I had to trim it back in order to see the minnows. I'm sure in a place like Florida or where you would have a pond set up year-around this may not be a viable option. I should've specified that for this plant/configuration. Appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for video. Sometimes when I start small aquariums I start with 2 to 5 fish and give them a 4 to 5 weeks to cycle the sulfites, but good video on a budget.
You're probably right! Looking back I probably would've uprooted it a couple weeks later and replaced the dirt with gravel. Because I didn't have the pond up year-round, I wasn't to worried about it initially... I will try to ensure to make suggestions like that in the future!
Hello Matthew, Thanks for the comment! Yes, as I am in Virginia I had to tear it down about 4 months later. The Pothos was overgrown and loving the environment. I lost 1 or 2 of the minnows, still unsure of the cause. However, the majority of them are all still alive and well in a pond in my garage I'm growing some Java Moss out in. Looking back, after a couple weeks of acclimation, I probably would have removed dirt from the Pothos and put Gravel in that plant container instead, especially if the pond was going to be up year-round. Thanks again! I might be coming out with some more videos soon... Life kind of gets in the way sometimes!
Pothos are cool theyre also the perfect plant for reptile enclosures. That being said I would have switched that for an aquatic plant and switched its basket for gravel
@@rushthezeppelin the leaves cant stay wet though or they will rot so its bot really a great aquatic plant. Trust me I hear ya I grow pothos in mason jars of water but theyre not great for aquariums unless theyre just like hanging out of a filter box until thsy get huge
@@Slicknewt yeah just keep it trimmed up to keep leaves out of the water. They certainly do better on the sides of a setup than out in the middle. Did a ton of research on this when I was thinking of making a paludarium+refugium setup for garter snakes.

He put media from an established aquarium in so theres no need to cycle it
Great video!! thanks
Awesome Vid..keep going! Love that ZOE!
I think you worried a little too much about stressing the pothos out. That stuff is nearly invincible.

Awesome DIY! I did a similar thing but indoors xD , any updates on your pond??

This video was extremely helpful!!!!!!
Thank you; it’s definitely something I’d love to have in my yard!
I got one of these but with a spillway. So knowing that how can I use that with a filter inside it and making it waterfall into my outdoor pond
Awesome video....
The beard
Thanks! Really want a pond.
Good first video
Thanks! learning filming and editing all at the same time is challenging, but we'll get better with time ^.^
Need more arm and drilling videos
W Dad 😊
Ur video shuld have been 4 minutes longer!!!
If you push it in more it will push more water farther out giving more air... Fyi
The top thingy causes the laminar flow
Yeah, after messing with it for a while we figured it out 🙃
@@VBAquatics cool, hope it's doing good
Very very helpful! Funny guy

Actually pothos survives great in a hydroponic setup is there's almost no plant out there that will clean nitrates out of water as well as it will.

@@rushthezeppelin that would be really cool my friend has a ribbon snake setup with live planted pothos and laceleaf
What are the fish?
I realize I never mentioned it, they are rosy red minnow feeder fish. Can get them just about any fish store for .10 a piece!
