    I'm in Montreal Quebec. I actually put my white clouds out around mid May, the temps went down to 43F at night, (feels like 38F!). My clouds were not moving much come morning. I realized it and threw in an old tetra 50watt heater which I only needed at night. It was enough to keep the temp in low 50s or so. I unplug in morning. All are doing well, and I saw fry already, hoping they survive being eaten. How about Florida Flagfish, good algae eaters I hear.

    Rachel O'leary have you tried fire line danio outside? I live in mid Michigan (grand rapids) and have a small group I was pondering trying. I've had zero luck inside so far. also wondering if you've tried Kerri danio outside. I only have three maybe four tubs this year and that was one I was thinking about dropping in and trying.

    I'm trying my school of C. Chopra outside with my White Clouds this year. But since our winters are milder I've been runnning a pair of old 200 watt Ebo's in the tank. I can say that even with our brief cold snap this March ( attempted to snow..) all the fish are doing great even though the tubs have been running about 58~66 degrees. I keep plexiglass covers on both tubs. I'm hoping that the Glowlight Danios do as well outside as they did in the quarantine 5 gallon last year, ( they started spawning the 3rd day in the tank, I pulled 70 babies out of that tank..)

    I’m pretty late to answer, but to answer your questions: - Yes, filters/aerators are optional, but having them will prevent mosquitoes. - Heaters are not necessary. - Water changes may or may not be necessary depending on the number of plants you have and the amount of plants you have. - Occasional feeding can be beneficial. - Low-light plants I’ve found include cardinal flower, marsh marigold, water snowflake, water hyacinth, azolla, water lettuce, and frog bit, though many others can be found online. They are all tolerant of hot temperatures.

    Great videos Rachel! I live down in GA, near Atlanta and I keep carnivorous plants as well as fish. Do you have any recommendations for hearty fish to try keeping in tubs outside? I've had everything from guppies to discus to bichir, all in very controlled indoor tanks though. Would you recommend any particular species for my first try at an outdoor tub? I'd love to do a bog-style tank with some pitchers and flytraps as well as some fish. It gets up into the 90's here during the summer, and I feel like most fish aren't too excited about getting that hot.

My parents suck at taking care of fish so I want to set up a natural system that will need minimal work. I've done a system like this before with golden pothos but pothos can get out of hand quickly if not pruned. I've got a 55 coming in to replace a leaking 75. I want to have 10-12 different dwarf l species with maybe a small nano school of cherry barbs or something similar. I'm thinking of having it mediumish planted with plants comin out of the hang on the back. Lighting is by the window but tank is going to have a black background.

Bloody dock, water hyacinth, most irises and rushes, dwarf palm, parrotsfeather, creeping jenny are all great starter plants and most can be overwintered to use again the next year. There are also quite a few house plants that do really well iwth "wet feet". Just pay attention to the depth they say to plant the plants. For fish, pick something temperate (white clouds are a good one) or egg scattering (any kind of danio) as they are both really versatile and rewarding

    I noticed you had .....what it looks like to me....iris in one of your tubs. You can plant them in tubs?? Wondering because we are thinking of setting up a 125 gal pond for my koi and leaning towards a bog filter to help with filtration. I'm just trying to get an idea on what would be best to put in the ponds filter. I tried to grow out some water hyacinth and water lettuce we got from a nursery here and discovered it infested my tank with leeches! Ya, I was really mad at that one. What is the best way to rid water plants of potential pests before I introduce them into my tanks again? I understand I can dip them in bleach water or peroxide but not sure of the ratio for doing that and for how long to submerge them. I respect your thoughts and will apply them when we are ready for it. Do you sell yours when you get a lot of it?? I would trust yours!

    I do! They are marginals- so most of the plant has to be out of the water, but the roots do fine very wet. Potassium permangenate is probably the best treatment- but I don't generally treat anything as I over winter them dry, so they don't have leeches.
