Thanks, this was interesting. I really like your variety of aquatic pond plants. Here in NZ it can be a bit difficult tracking down aquatic plants to buy, as I think the conservation department is afraid of them escaping into the wild and becoming an invasive weed. I have had to go out searching lakes and streams to find most of my plants. But that can be fun anyway. I enjoy your videos, please keep us updated on your pond. 😊
Thank you for your beautiful comment from NZ. My husband is from Whangarei, and we went there in May. I adore NZ nature. I think you guys are truly blessed when it comes to nature! I can buy some aquatic plants from Bunnings, or aquarium. But I am the same, I find it fun to collect some plants from natural pond too 😊
Yayyyyy another pond video 🥰 All the babies are grown! Very useful tips and your voice, music and editing is so soothing. I love your videos, they're magical 💖
I haven't purchased any medaka rice fish yet, soon I will depending if the breeder will sale them in my state. I enjoy tuning into your channel is so peaceful and inspiring. Hopefully during the winter you can give us an update on the rice fish. Thank you for your video's.
I have set up my pond outside now and I finally got rice fish here in WA and they are very expensive! I hope they will breed as well. I will have a mini pond inside the house too.
I know the rice fish can be quite expensive! But congratulations on your new fish! If your fish are young and healthy you will they will breed a lot during spring - summer. Good luck 🤞
Yes, I only bought 6 to start with and I got eggs already! I separated the eggs and I can see the eyes now. I also made a tsukubai (just because shishiodoshi is difficult to make). I was thinking of making videos as well, I am wondering if you would allow me to use your video links and tell people that your videos are my inspiration?
Thank you so much for your Christmas and New Year greetings. Gold Coast had been hit by a tornado on the Christmas night, since then we have no power in my area. Finally I got a little signal for my phone but that’s it at the moment. Fortunately we have a generator that keeps our air con and fridge run. We had thunderstorm on the New Year’s Day as well. But we are all safe! Hope everything is going well with you!
@@livelovelaughdiy yes I live in a Tropical 🏝️ area of Texas. We get Hurricanes during the summer Months but so far none for a few years now. I spent time with family on these Holiday. So I was blessed . I wish you a Prosperous New Year. I shall be looking for your next Video. Hello from MERCEDES , TEXAS USA
❤it was great seeing your new video. You have given me many ideas. I have a 6 foot fence all around my Yard but I have seen Stray Cats 🐈 jumping it. They might kill my Koi Fish. So thinking of building a Bridge over it so they can hide under it. My Weather is Tropical all year long so never Snows. Love ❤your video Hi from South Texas 👋
Great to hear from you 😊👍 I understand your situation. My mum in Japan used to have two beautiful koi fish in her small garden pond. One was gold, the other was silver. But one morning the gold one was missing. We found scales around the pond. It must’ve been some cat’s attack. Hope the bridge idea works 🤞💕
Hi! Love your videos. I have a large clay garden pot that I'm thinking of using for our 2 goldfish as a new pond. Do you think I need a pump or filtration for them? Your medaka seem happy but not sure about goldfish. Glad to see you are enjoying life in Australia. I lived in your country for over ten years, many years ago. Back home now, a little further north of you though.
Konbanwa! thank you for your comment 😊 You lived in Japan! My parents have a small goldfish pond at their property in Tokyo, they have a pump. I researched about having goldfish in a patio pond, it is possible to keep them without a pump or filter if you can provide them a large pond with substrate and aquatic plants. However you still need regular water change. Goldfish grow a lot bigger than rice fish, they contaminate the water quickly. Also they eat aquatic plants which act like a filter. So, installing a pump or filter will make the job so much easier.
Hahaha 😆 yes my ginger cats are curious, especially the young one! I usually cover this patio pond with a wire mesh, so it is protected. I have lots of cane toads 🐸 here, and they often jump in my pond! So I have to have some cover. The cover protects from cats too. I have another mini pond with rice fish on my balcony. This one is just a storage plastic box, and only 12 fish are there. Since this pond is on the busy spot, and dry area, we don’t see cane toads. So this plastic box pond doesn’t have a cover. My cats often drink water from this pond but they don’t try to catch the fish. I guess the fish are too fast and small to grab for cats. They eventually loose interest in the fish but enjoy drinking the “flavoured water” 🤣 But they probably try to catch the fish in my round pond in this video because there are so many fish! They look more interesting! I think cats are safe as long as there are not many fish in the pond 👍
@@livelovelaughdiy That’s great that the cats leave the fish alone and the fish are safe! The cat in this video is so cute. I used to have a ginger cat called King who we found as a kitten in Thailand and brought with us to the UK. He was with us for 19 years! We now have Milo, who is a large Maine Coon cat and very cuddly. There are a few videos of him (and my garden!) on my channel if you have any free time between making your garden look lovely!
Wow your King had a great life with you guys. I used to have another ginger cat, he was lovely. Since then we always love ginger cats. I love to see your garden and Milo, thanks to letting me know 😊
Witaj ☺piękny filmik w moim klimacie rybki by nie przeżyły w zimę zamarzły by jedynie tylko w akwarium w domu .U nas są zimy mroźne w porównaniu do Australii.Pozdrawiam cieplutko Ewa z Polski♥
This bowl has a small hole at about 1 inch lower than the top edge, and cover the hole with a patch of mesh. So only water flows out but not the fish. You can see how I did it in my other videos “Traditional Japanese Style Rice Fish Patio Pond” or “DIY Japanese Rice Fish Mini Pond”
Thanks, this was interesting.

Thank youuuu😍💕 So nice of you!! I ended up letting 50 fish go last year as I got too many, but I always love to see the new babies.

Thank you for your beautiful comment. Hope you can find a good deal with medaka fish. I bet you love them!
Your videos are so soothing..... I love your videos and your fish ! ❤️ from bangladesh 🇧🇩

You have a lovely garden! What I'd like to know is, did the fish survive the interest of your cute ginger cat?!

You should put a water heater for fish tanks in there.
We can install a heater if they are in the cold area😊 My area is warmer than Japan 🇯🇵 so they are ok in winter.
Medakas doesn't need heater.
メダカちゃんたち物凄く増えたね！みんな元気で気持ちよさそう。Canはもう、メダカのプロね。素晴らしい！👍
猫ちゃんがメダカたちを食べてしまう心配はないの？？？お行儀がいいのかな。生き物はいろいろと気を遣って面倒をみないといけないから大変だ。でも繁殖したりしてくれるとやりがいがすごくあるよね。オーストラリアは今、春かぁ。こちらは気持ちの良い秋。日本は春と秋が短いけど、オーストラリアではどうなのかな。気持ち良い季節が短いというのはちょっと残念。でも、満喫しようと思います！
メダカ、ほとんど手をかけてないけど随分増えてくれたよ😍猫はやっぱり興味あるみたいよ🤣だから普段はワイヤーメッシュのカバーをかけているんだ。猫だけじゃなくて野鳥とか、トンボの幼虫のヤゴとかの被害もあると思うからね。しかもメダカってこっちで買うと高いんだよ〜。気軽に手が出せないお値段だよ。1匹2000円とか普通にあるみたい。群れで行動する魚だから、最低でも5匹くらい欲しいけど、それだとすごく高くなっちゃうよねー。
@@livelovelaughdiy 猫ちゃん、やっぱ興味があるんだ！野鳥にヤゴに天敵が沢山！メダカ一匹2000円？！？！高っ！（＠＠）Canは上手に殖やしたよね。いやいや、わたしから見たら十分に手をかけていると思うよー☆日本のメダカって人気があるんだね。今、日本には野生のメダカはいるのかなぁ。護岸工事とかで自然の河川がなくなってきているし。Canとこのメダカちゃんたちは元気に快適に泳いでいるよね。
（＾ー＾）ｂ
日本もメダカ減って来てそうだよね。こっちでのメダカの値段があまりに高いし、お店でも注文して入荷した分だけ買うって言うシステムが多いので、なかなか普通の人が買えないから、去年自分のメダカを1匹700円くらいで売ってみたら、15,000円くらい売れたよ！新しい環境で元気に増えてくれてるといいな！
@@livelovelaughdiy おおっ！メダカビジネス！👍メダカってちゃんとお世話すれば繁殖力高いのかな？Canのメダカショップをネットで開店したらぼろ儲けかも？！世界中から買いがくるね。（＠＠）
お年頃のメダカのメスは、繁殖期にほぼ毎日産卵するから、うまくやると爆増するよ。まあ、親近交配とかで弱ったりする可能性もあるけど。Yutubeきっかけにビジネス展開する人もいるよね！私が自分のことで忙しいと、ダンナがへそ曲げるから😅これは趣味に留めるつもりだけど、ダンナが自分のビジネスの動画を作って大きくしてほしいって頼んでくるよ。でも、正直自分の興味の範疇外のコンテンツって、誰かが綿密に台本作ってくれないと無理💦
今日もこっちはさんさんと太陽が☀️輝いてるよ。っていうかかなり深刻な日照りです。畑にタネをまいたけど、何も発芽しない…。そちらは過ごしやすい季節かな？今日も頑張って行こう〜👍

How to control overflow when rainning?
This bowl has a small hole at about 1 inch lower than the top edge, and cover the hole with a patch of mesh. So only water flows out but not the fish. You can see how I did it in my other videos “Traditional Japanese Style Rice Fish Patio Pond” or “DIY Japanese Rice Fish Mini Pond”
@@livelovelaughdiy Oh I might missed those videos. Cheers~~~
btw It was really hard to find and buy medaka fish in Sydney... I bought yellow ones and I couldn't make it breed yet. So sorry for my daughters :(
I understand, it is hard to find medaka here too. I found my one from Gumtree ad. Good luck on your yellow medaka 😊
