Hello
I am new here and have a question
I want to have an indoor pond in my house for freshwater.
The measurements are 5 meters (16.4 feet) by 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and around 40 cm (1.3 feet) high (or 30 cm maybe). I am just in the absolute beginning of planning and of course I will inform myself about the requirements of the fish I put there first. Do you think this would be a good size for different types of fish ? Or is it too low for most ? The evaporation and cost for setup and maintenance is not something I need advice for since I have it already figured out. I want to put many plants in and just a few fish. All freshwater and just small fish and shrimp , no fancy fish. I also do not care how the fish look or if I can see them ( they can be hiding in the plants). And regarding an extra question is this height ok for discus fish ? I saw that they are often housed in tanks that are lower, but I would like to know if they would be really happy with 1.3 feet height. And I know discus fish should not be kept by beginners... thats why I would not put any there in the first few years. Just want to know for the future ( and maybe adjust the size already before... This is something that I would start in 2 month and I put the fish in only once I know enough , so don`t worry I am not gonna rush it. Thanks so much already to anybody answering
