Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I just buried a 25 gallon plant container in the ground and lined it with some 2.5 mil plastic. I plan on keeping a few trios of guppies in it after it warms up to tropical temps.
I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and what kind of results/setbacks they experienced. Ive been keeping fish for 7 years and this is my first outdoor attempt. I plan on adding a small pump with a fountain attachment to keep the water cool during the dog days. I hope that the circulation doesn't stop mosquitos from laying their eggs in it as I hope to be self sufficent with the food sources.
I'm also going to put in a bunch of ghost shrimp and hope they breed as well. Please share thoughts on this. I know I cant winter them outside and will have to bring them all back in. I hope to be able to sell them in bulk to a store or on aquabid.
