Very nice. I used to have a half barrel pond, it was fun, but i had to upgrade. Anyway, i love the papyrus(can't spell). Very nice, very full! Your fish will love it in there. I am working on setting up my half barell pond inside so i can keep my platys in there. My only concern is the temperature fluxuations. What are they like. Fluxuations could make your fish's ammune system become weaker.And tropical fish can't stand temp. flux. as much as fancy goldfish can. Very nice pond though, i love it.
