sarracenia_X's half-barrel pond

i have had this pond for seveal weeks now, it has several plants and some fish.

some of you have already seen it in a pic on my bog garden thread, or heard me mention it in the chatbox, now i think it deserves its own thread.

You should add some aquatic utrics to that thing. Very cool :D

Nice. Is the water stagnant?

yes, it is always stagnant

circulation is an option, not a requirement

most people circulate their ponds to deter moskeeter larvae, but my pond is populated with about 7-9 mosquitofish, and 3 sprigs of waterwheel (Aldrovanda), so that takes care of that problem!
