Traditional Japanese Style Rice Fish Patio Pond in Zen Garden: Easy Maintenance/ Feed & Breed

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Finally, I set up a new bigger Japanese rice fish patio pond (Melaka Biotope) in my Zen Garden. It is the upgraded version of my last mini pond. This time, I got lots of new fish with just easy maintenance and bit more love and care. I made this patio pond with very old Japanese traditional method appeared in 1700s. So, it has no filter, just relies on the natural ecosystem. I am very happy with the result, and very excited to share with you my new pond! Hope you enjoy watching my new baby fish 🐟

    For algae overgrowth..especially string algae...if you make a small bunch ( tie with string ) of BARLEY STRAW ( buy in nurseries or produce shops etc... where you buy hay .... ) it works really well to kill or restrict the algaes. I always used it in my ponds. Beautiful video thank you .

    If you can get barrel and collect rain water for your pond even better. Puts some buckets out when it rains or catch some from down pipe from roof but roof must be clean not dusty mouldy or dirty. Same with down pipe. Rice fish pretty and white.

    I Simply was so taken by your beautiful natural approach & your gentle patient Japanese culture which comes through. Love that natural Ponds in Japan fish are not fed but rely on natural ecosystems based from (1700's in Japan). We loved Japan so very much ❤️ 2014 holiday. I sumply couldnot take enough photos. I had wanted to visit Japan since I was a very little girl. I loved it all so very much from Osaka to Kyoto Tokyo, Nagano, & Yaminuchi to see the beautiful snow Monkeys & I felt like I was walking & meditating at the same time. Love the Bamboo forest. Have always wanted to put together a Japanese style water garden with fish to keep my memories alive. I wanted a traditional approach Arigato goziamas 🙏❤

    Magical! Without any techie bits of equipment you produce an aquatic oasis. There is something delightfully childlike in the way you combine all the techniques into something that is truly awe inspiring. The management of the water for the daphna is so well explained I live in the UK so I doubt if my ponds would overwinter, but I'm inspired to give it a try in an adapted format. Thank you :-)

    Thank you so much for your beautiful comment from UK! This pond works in Japan where it’s quite cold in Japan and rice fish can survive under the ice. But if the entire water gets frozen, they die. Some people use a styrofoam bowl during winter because it gives better insulation. I don’t know how cold it gets in your area, but sending you the best wishes…💕

    It seems to me that outdoor ponds cycle faster. I suggest adding a pot with plants from another pond into new pond to jump start the cycle, since a lot of the good microbes live in the pot that was sitting in an older pond. I also suggest giving away some of your medaka and adding some unrelated fish into your pond. It will help you produce more healthy fish in the future, since it will help increase the gene pool.

I plugged up the hole with 2 part epoxy as your video suggested and it worked perfectly. No leaks! Thanks again for sharing, all the best with your Zen Garden!

    I bought a ginormous half whiskey barrel from amazon, lined it with pondliner and keep it on the patio decking under a big awning and added 4 orandas. Pond going on 5 years now, fish were from my indoor tank and are 7+ years old. Very easy upkeep, but will need heavy duty pond filter, charcoal, clay, those plastic beads, uv etc, orandas are messy eaters and poop a lot (weekly half water change ofc).

    You lived in Japan 🇯🇵when I was living with my parents in Japan,! I have had a similar experience. A cat from the neighbourhood took our koi fish from the pond. The fish was quite big, so I was shocked.😅 Thats why I cover my pond, I know it doesn't look good but certainly protects my fish. Glad you enjoyed my video, thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment!

I’m in Melbourne so it’s very cold at the moment but my fish are still going well considering the cold 🥶. Thank you so very much, you are very creative! Best wishes 🙏

I've been considering building a pond in my own garden, especially since I also have stray cats around, and your mesh solution seems both simple and effective. I'm thinking of adding guppies to my pond as well. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos to gather some inspiration and ideas. Thank you for sharing such wonderful content!

She used to try to catch the fish but she gave up now and just drinks water, but my other young one wants to play with the fish, and also I have cane toads sometimes jump in the pond. So I still need the mesh cover 😅
