Hi all
I've recently started a barrel pond and had the dreaded smelly water I had 2 goldfish in there which died so I started again.
I emptied the barrel cleaned it and used a pond liner again I have started to get smelly water and the next two goldfish died. I have a few plants which seem to be thriving and the water is clear, theres a solar air pump ( which works really well) and a home made solar water fall which only works with sun.
I have no filter and don't plan to get one(un less I can make a solar pump diy one), my question is are there any other fish I can put in which may have a better chance of survival?
