Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Dollarz House.....help with... 341Jan 05, 2012 8:39 pm Hi Raj, it was the most simple thing to do. I've owned fish tanks before and never really had much luck. Choose a water bowl that will house a few water plants, pond pebbles and even a few rocks/bricks to ensure your water plants don't blow over in the wind, and some fish. We also added some plants that you stick into the pebbles as you want to ensure you have a variety of plants such as 'oxygenators' and you may find this read helpful. http://www.pondkoi.com/pond_plants_submerged.htm Best thing to remember is that you need to get a bottle of chlorine neutraliser as you will kill your fish if you use straight tap water given the chlorine. We set ours up in 1 day, had fish in it the same day-just ensured we use the chlorine neutraliser. We even have a few snails in the pond. Out of our fish x1 fish has died (we think due to the stress of the fish having arrived at the pet store that same day. Don't forget fish food but naturally fish can live in something like this for a few days without fish food. We are going to a few more water bowls/bird baths for the garden as they also attract birds.
