Finally got my dream tank running. My little Ryukin water puppies seem to enjoy schooling around which is really cute to see. They like to follow the tiny little babies around for some reason? The smallest fish I have is the gang leader.

If you’re wondering why
there is a bucket in there? That’s because while I do have
my dream tank, my dream filtration system is still on the to-buy list.

If you ever find yourself short a filter something like my bucket idea might help you. It’s a cheapo ebay pond pump in the bottom of a hardware store plastic bucket, the biological media out of the old canister filter poured around it and some cotton filter material on top of the ceramics and a couple river pebbles to hold it down.

Didn’t actually cost me a cent because I had the stuff lying around already. You could use something similar. All you need is water flow and something to direct it over your media.

Oh, nice! I bet your goldies love it, all that sand to play in, and they’re gonna look amazing once they get big. 

Give them a couple ping-pong balls, goldies like to play with them.
