Fish Crazy
Just wondering if this would work. I live on a horse barn and have a 75 gallon or so empty water trough, never been used for anything but water for the horses and its never had any algae growing in it really, maybe a small bloom in the dead heat of summer. I live just north of Atlanta Georgia and i have read that banana plants come from the south east united states. well, you dont really get more southeast then georgia. Anyways i have also read that the pool infront of the lincoln memorial in Washington DC is filled with mosquito fish and they live in the pool even when it freezes. I was considering getting this water trough heavily planted with banana plants and sell them on ebay or something, becuase i became sucessfull in making new plants in my inside aquarium. The reason i want the mosquito fish in there is because we have SO many mosquitos in georgia... and i dont want to just be breeding mosquitos. Anyways, do any of yall think this will work? or maybe some other type of VERY hardy fish species that can tolerate not perfect water conditions? i cant put a filter out there really but i can do alot of water changes and if i maybe put some java fern/ java moss in there as well, i can keep most of the ammonia at bay, seeing as i wouldnt have to feed the fish that much becuase they would eat any algae or mosquito larva or any gnats that get stuck on the surface. Give any opinion/thought you want on this, as i dont want to be cruel to the fish or anything. And yes, id use dechlorinator ext. in the water.
