The 2nd pond was to be for the climbing perch, but it was a disaster. You can see in this shot how bad the leak was (the left pond)
So came the tedious job of dismantling it (lots of centipedes hiding in the crevices)...
... and reassembling. What I learnt from the guppy pond was that a depth of 2 bricks was too shallow, causing the water to heat up considerably in the midday sun. This version is 3 bricks deep.
Completed pond. with an Indian almond leaf.
Lets pray there are no leaks! I will know tomorrow.
