Hi. I am a novice in this field. I have recently built a 1,000 Liter
tank (approx-250 G, dimension 7Ft * 3Ft, 2Ft deep) in my garden (Ahmedabad, India). It is built with bricks/mortar and covered in/out by glaze tiles/glass mosaic. Yearly temparature varies between 5C (1 or 2 nights during winter) to 45C (1 or 2 afternoons during summer) degree centigrades. Annual rainfall (June-Sept) 25 inches. Tank is open to sky. It all began 2 months ago, when I put an old bath tub in the garden with some grass and 50 guppy fishes (1-2 inch long fish supplied by our malaria department to prevent growth of mosquitos). After one month I put a turtle in it. I have NEVER fed anything to fishes or turtle. NOW, there is a lot of algae in it. Since past 1 week, I have (in the new tank) some water grass, some algae, one fresh water turtle (2kg weight) and hundreds of guppy fishes. ***I need some help*** 1. I will be glad if someone could guide me to a website with "useful advise ***AND*** Common/scientific names ***AND*** pictures of aqua life (including plants)" 2. I would like to have aqua life in my small pond tobe SELF-sustained with minimal intervention just in case it may have tobe left unttended for few days whenever we are not at home. The reason for this posting is that, most of information on net is regarding indoor aquaria of much smaller sizes. Tips regarding design/layout of aqua life in new tank is also welcome. Thanking in anticipation. - Shankar |
