I like the half barrel ones, they sell them at Shirley Aquatics.

I've got a container pond, but no fish in it.
If its specifically for fish, do you have a local aquatic centre? You could ask them what's suitable. My fish man is very helpful - though I only keep mine indoors.

I think two small ones would be fine, ask at the ''fish'' place, but they only grow to what they live in so that should be great and a small plant. Sounds like it will be great

Should be fine to keep small fish in it. My sister once converted a bidet (sp?) in her bathroom into a fish home. She had two goldfish in it, was pretty cool!

Why, what happens to him if you let him out?

You ever seen Gremlins? Get the little cuties wet and watch them change - he's the same with sunlight

of course, you knew I meant I keep the fish indoors.. that's because they are fancy goldfish and wouldn't survive in a pond.

I quite like fish (especially neon tetras), I'm secretly hoping that when my Sister gets divorced I'll get the tropical fish!
