Japan is full of such mini ponds, I always wondered how they do it without filters and water circulation. Thanks to the comments, i now know. There is also a village here along a river that feeds into lake Biwa and the way they managed to clean up their water is similarly inspiring. They have little covered “wash houses" along the river, where they wash their dishes etc with the running water from the river. But before it gets returned back to the river, the water passes through several basins were fish catch and eat the leftover food scraps. The river bed itself has some specific species living there that they use as cleanliness indicators to monitor the state of the quality of the river as it passes downstream. There’s a nice documentary on it.
Thank you for sharing. The Japanese people have mastered it long back and I have huge respect for them. Whatever they do they do it so well in a very inspiring way.
Lovely pond and peaceful, informative video. Thank you. I loved the idea of adding pothos. Even though I always have some propagating in a vase, I never have thought of adding them to my patio ponds.
The Video is slow, but for starters perfekt!and you can speed it up! And its so beautiful! This Pond is made of love! Its also a nice idea to put a broken terracotta pot in the pond! Very nice idea!!
Simple and beautiful. Do you need to feed the fish or add nutrients for the plants? Or is it a self contained ecosystem? I've never had a water garden, but I'm starting a small one this spring, and hopefully a pond next spring. I'd love to hear more on how to maintain them.
So good to watch everything perfectly trimmed and placed together. the floating plants are pretty. beautifully done. oh and the tub upcycling was the best idea 💡 Did one similar to this a while ago with a new tub...not so beautiful like this one 🤪
I tried to make a pond a couple of weeks ago, but the water got really muddy. Guess it's because of the soil I used - regular potting soil. Next week I am getting now soil and some sand, and some gravel and small stones. I have a pennywort, and will be getting lotus seeds as well. Thinking about getting a couple of other small plants and also to propagate a moneyplant (on the side of the pond) inspired by this video. Even the tub I have is very similar to this one shown here. I hope next time the water will stay clear. Just wanna get some fish-friendly plant fertilizer as well.
Regular potting soil will work, you just need to cover it with about an inch of sand. I just set up 2 small jarariums using potting soil & its working out fine.
Very nice - I'm looking for something like this for a damp corner of the garden (it's caused by overflow from a rain gutter which is too high up for me to mend). So I thought why not make use of the 'free' water supply!
I saw a very small garden transformed into a little paradise once the tub was in position with it plant buddies around & in the container. I definitely want to create something similar.
👌👌👌... I too tried this .. after few months lots of algae growth n floating plants overgrown 😨 ... fishes died ..I think I should have fixed oxygen filter pump
That is really unfortunate. This is a lo tech walstad method hence no filter. You can get algae with filters too. The key is to avoid direct sunlight, having floaters, aquatic and terrestrial plants, initially 60% water change every alternate day and housing only hardy fish like guppies. Nerites can do a good job of feeding on algae. Having said all of the above one can still face algae issues. They are part of an ecosystem.
Inacreditável achar uma outra pessoa daqui da minha cidade vendo esse tipo de vídeo. Eu tô doido pra montar um laguinho desses, o aquário eu já tenho, agora quero um ao ar livre, Lana.
As usual, your composition is balanced and striking. I'm assuming you only added male guppies. It will be nice to see how it looks in a few months. Will you keep the immersed plants trimmed or let them go natural?
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Why are only males preferred? Is it to prevent breeding and overcrowding? How many males would be safe to keep in a container this size?
A real stress buster and treat to the eyes! I would love to know how do you take care of this pond? Specially water circulation to maintain the oxygen in water.
Thanks. Its a Walstad method (you can read about it on Google) so it is meant to function like an ecosystem. Only 40% water changes with an aquarium siphon once a week.
Thanks. This is a Walstad style setup so no filter has been installed. Only water changes. You can read the book by Diana Walstad or study more about this natural system on RUclips.
Stunning and so soothing to watch. My son and I thank you very much. I apologize if you’ve already answered this, but do you happen to know the type of guppy fish? Neither of us had ever seen one like them & they’re so beautiful.
I am so inspired by this, thank you for sharing. Maybe it will help my mosquito problem here in Hawaii. Is this under a roof outside? I am worried about it overflowing when it rains. It rains a lot where I live
Please also specify how to upkeep this pond, soon after few days the water gets turned, After how many days should we change the water and how often should we feed the fish or not(are they getting food from the vegetation ?), Is it best to keep this pond in shade or in direct sunlight, where i am from summer is hot 45'c to 48'c, and winter is cold 2-3'c. Thanks for this information video
Initially 60% water change every alternate days. Once the Walstad ecosystem settles down in a couple of months weekly once water change should be sufficient. Keep in shade. Guppies can get feed from larvae however add flakes whenever needed. Add more plants both aquatic and terrestrial for better balance. Add lots of floaters to to filter light and prevent algae.
Thank you for showing how to create a small pond which is so beautiful. One question, what do you feed your fish with, regular guppy food and do the plants provide any food?

Hi sir I am a big fan of your content. How can I join your work shop, I have tried to mail you but I failed. Please do something. Thank you😊
Ooh, I love how calmly and gently this lovely little pond was put together. Very meditative and beautiful. Thank you. 😊
Thank you 🙏

Could you kindly share the link to the documentary? Thank you for the knowledge
can you share the link plz.. love to watch such documentary
Yes pls
There is no greater beauty or charm than what we can find in nature!! Inner peace ❤
feels Japan...
So true! @AMRUTA14
Mosquito does not lay eggs where fishes are there
Going back to basic nature and simplicity is always charming and rewarding. This is inspiring.
Thank you
I've been watching planter and patio pond videos all morning and this is the best one!
Thank you
This is so therapeutic to watch. Makes me want to try my hand at making one too.
Thank you. Yes do make one. It is indeed fun and very rewarding to make one and see it thrive.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist I’d love to see a video on how you maintain the water - even with plants, the water would have to be changed, I think?
Lovely pond and peaceful, informative video. Thank you. I loved the idea of adding pothos. Even though I always have some propagating in a vase, I never have thought of adding them to my patio ponds.
Thank you
That was such a clever and simple way to add height.
Wonderful and sweet of you. I know she will enjoy it, I would! Nice looking guppy fish too!
Thank you
Bravo, beautiful! Respect from Russia! 👍
Thank you very much!
This man is my hero ... he is amazing.

Thank you
its a truly beautiful simplistic build. I love it
Thank you
Will build a similar mini pond in the terrace in the spring. Thanks.
Awesome! Awesome. Such artistry. Never imagined how beautiful this would turn out. 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul Avish

Thanks. Feed fish but less frequently than aquarium. Nutrients once in a while.
Love this beautiful pond...
Thanks
One day I'll also make such garden projects 🥺
So so beautiful. Ur video is so calming and inspiring. I will make one small pond now.
Thank you
Just perfect! Buddha like
So good to watch everything perfectly trimmed and placed together. the floating plants are pretty. beautifully done. oh and the tub upcycling was the best idea 💡 Did one similar to this a while ago with a new tub...not so beautiful like this one 🤪
I will try this...InshaAllah very soon...thank you.
Woh so much peace.....🕊🌸
That is Beautiful and Thanks for Sharing this tips I like it
Thank you
I could do this to a small batya. So inspiring 😍
Wow. This indeed is simple. I will be trying it soon.
Thanks. Sure go for it. All the best

Did you ever discover it was because racoons were washing their hands in there?
Lovely n lively .....must try to make it at my rooftop ......thanks a lot ....
Thank you
Loved this!!!
Love the beautiful pond
Love this video! It's inspiring and I love the music that you chose for it. Very relaxing to watch. Thank you!

Guppies feed on mosquito larvae and keep the ecosystem infestation free
Inacreditável achar uma outra pessoa daqui da minha cidade vendo esse tipo de vídeo. Eu tô doido pra montar um laguinho desses, o aquário eu já tenho, agora quero um ao ar livre, Lana.
Cinematic simply relaxing. Well done sir
Glad you enjoyed it
As usual, your composition is balanced and striking. I'm assuming you only added male guppies. It will be nice to see how it looks in a few months. Will you keep the immersed plants trimmed or let them go natural?
Thanks. The fish store confirmed all are male guppies. I would prefer to have the emerged plants trimmed.

Wow So Fantastically Creative 👌👏👏👍👍👍 love it
Thanks
This is simply awesome. You have created a beautiful mini ecosystem 👍🥰
Thanks a lot 🙏
So relaxing video ☺️
Very natural ❤️ but I suggest that less floating plants would do great as the inner beuty of the pond would be able to see more 😍
Thanks. I would like to have less floaters too but this is the only way to filter the light and prevent rapid algae blooms since it is kept outdoors
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Yeah agree !!
So peacefull ❤
Thanks
Очень интересно!
Thanks
Inspiring!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you
Simple & beautiful ❤
Thanks

Will try. Surely.
those guppies 😍😍😍😍😍
Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!
Beautiful ! I was wondering if the plants mind a bit of water rippling the surface ?
Hermoso. Intentaría ponerle algún sistema de re circulación de agua con algún filtro. Así los peces no mueren
Thanks. This is a Walstad style setup so no filter has been installed. Only water changes. You can read the book by Diana Walstad or study more about this natural system on RUclips.
Precioso!

Thank you. Glad you like it. No, I do not know the name of the exact species but I can try to find out. I will let you know if I did.
I am so inspired by this, thank you for sharing. Maybe it will help my mosquito problem here in Hawaii. Is this under a roof outside? I am worried about it overflowing when it rains. It rains a lot where I live
Thank you. Its in the open but in shade of trees.
Georgious 👌
Thanks
Please also specify how to upkeep this pond, soon after few days the water gets turned,
After how many days should we change the water and how often should we feed the fish or not(are they getting food from the vegetation ?), Is it best to keep this pond in shade or in direct sunlight, where i am from summer is hot 45'c to 48'c, and winter is cold 2-3'c. Thanks for this information video

Impressive & beautiful, thank you. May I ask how to prevent Mosquitoes from laying eggs in this setup ?
Thanks. Keeping livestock like guppies will help prevent mosquito larva
Beautiful 👍🙏
Thanks
The trick is to never feed the fish so that they will eat all mosquito larvae.
Thank you for showing how to create a small pond which is so beautiful. One question, what do you feed your fish with, regular guppy food and do the plants provide any food?
thanks. guppy food and they also feed on mosquito larvae that occurs naturally in the ecosystem
Hermoso!

I subscribed to for a future videos thanks for sharing
Love too do this, but think I’ll have to use different plants. As we live up north 😂
Zone 6 B here. Try floating hearts. Seem hardy down to occasional freezing.
such a wonderful video 😍😍😍
Thank you
Amazing video and quite helpful for ppl wanting to setup ponds. Is there any periodic cleaning activity needed and if so, how frequently?
Thank you. Yes water changes, waste siphoning and trimming of plants.
Love it
Thanks
@5:37 Hello, nice video.
What about water changes? How often? Gorgeous, the fish too!
Thank you. 60% water changes initially twice a week for about a month. After that only once a week when its settled.
