So my friend call's me up yesterday, Saying come over he wanted to show me something. So i was out doing thing's i stopped by and to see what he wanted, And there it was!!!!
He took some of that black plastic stuff that you line the ground when your building a koi fish pond or something and he dug a hole nice size at least 200 gallon or more. Also when he dug the hole he didnt just make it round he made it look like a cool little pond then he put the black plastic down and cut it to fit. the plastic is to keep dirt from the ground from getting in there, And then he took big rocks the size of tennis ball's and lined the whole thing around the edge's so you cant see where the black plastic meets the grass and lined the whole bottom of the pond then he got a fountain so water would be moving all the time and he also put all kinds of plants and lilly pad's from his koi fish pond in there so the bettas can get away from each other.
It look's so freaking cool i wish i would have thought of that he has had it up and going for a week and a half and everyone in it is still ok no missing fins so far there is 18 males and 8 females in it and the other thing thats so awesome is 2 of the males are building bubble nest under a lilly pad its like watching them in the wild is how it seems its just so awesome.
If anyone wants to know.. He did this for all his retired bettas or bettas that wont sale or regular tail bettas the pond was built for old retired bettas to just live out there lives free and happy when he come's out in the afternoon they know it's feeding time they all just sit there staring at the top of the water waiting for food to land.. there can be 2 males beside each other and they dont care they just are waiting for dinner to drop.
Anyway i thought i would share this with everyone it make's me want to build one. I dont care about koi, But i would like to have a betta pond.
