Why are you draining it though?

Insect larvae, need to dig a deeper pond, and it looks neat, like an apocalypse happened.

Three feet maybe. As long as you have one side taper into a shallow spot for frog bros. Maybe at some point you can capture local minnows and put them in there too.

Fair enough, how deep do the dock's poles reach?

I might put bluegill fish in if it is deep enough.

Opt for tilapia, they're hardy and edible.

The dock poles go down two feet.

why dock bro do you want to make it bigger
>>
>>29032326
Are there any fish your state (assuming you are in US) will stock for free? In California you can get free fish from the government to eat insect larvae. Dig it deep enough for them.
>>
wouldn't it be easier to build a swirlpool off a natural brook?
>>
>>29032370
Then you might want to consider getting some new poles if you're planning on digging more than 2 feet.
>>
>>29032326
i think you need it to be at least 3-4 feet and you gotta move the dirt a long ways away or else it will all go down into the pond again

>>29032403
I am more than half a mile from a creek.

>>29032386
Not sure. I wouldn't know where to begin with stocking.

You would need a HUGE pond to support fish desu.

They produce lots of waste and unlike frogs they can't leave the water.

Their waste will eventually poison them and the combination of fish waste and dead fish will create a septic hazard...

The reason people have little 50-100 gallon ponds with fish is that they have electric pump systems, bio filters, all kinds of technology supporting it.

IRL a 100 gallon pond will almost never have fish in it, unless it's just part of a much larger body of water.

Like in big swamps, you'll often find little ponds that are 100 gallons or smaller. But they're attached to the main swamp which is thousands and thousands of gallons.

Why is it that your tortoise was seen in a room with a bed?
Yes it's the same tortoise, the markings were identical to the one you posted sitting on your dock.

How did the tortoise get on the bed, dockbro? You have to answer.

i think im getting fond of this man effort against vicious society and nature,his struggle is this pond and this dock,a manifestation of the human spirit.you are like the soviet workers' heroes of the old times.and i really mean it.make more of this dockbro,expand your crafts

so wait what is this, this guy is living in the wild or something?
That's really cool. I wish r9k had a squatter camp.

Thanks, Anon.

I might take a long break from posting these threads though. I have a new pond project to dig up.

>>29033067
Yes. :3
>>
>>29033004
The markings wouldn't be the same. Not so much the same as they are here. You posted the picture showing him from the other side.
See >>29032747 and >>29032668, compare those markings, they are exactly identical.
That same tortoise that was sitting on your dock was in a place with a bed and a painted wall. It's hard to say what exactly that proves or what that means for who you are, but it's fact.
>>
>>29033004
Those markings are spot on the same.
Also, the turto on the dock was too pristine to be a wild animal. That's a fucking pet, nigger.
>>
>>29033102
dockbro, how do you charge your laptop/phone, what will you do when your data plan runs out?
>>
>>29033004
they are exactly the same, and the animal on the dock is too healthy and pristine to be a modern wild animal

Rent a skid steer for like $150 and you will be able to dig a really big pond in a single day OP, then you can have fish and whatever else you want in it.
>>
>>29032231
Thats pretty cool.

Why do people think that because he posted a picture of a pond, he lives in the wild?

Fuck off. I found a turtle and placed it on a dock. You can't even lie about that.

>Can depth help that problem, or does it need to be all three dimensions dug out?

It can't just be deep. It has to be deep as well as have a big surface area.

The reason depth alone isn't enough is that the gas exchange happens at the surface level of the water. The more surface area, the more oxygen in the water. Adding lots of depth will mean at the bottom there won't be oxygen. The dissolved oxygen in the water will be very low; the fish will suffocate.

If you go on a pond forum you can get a lot more detailed information. Really though trying to dig a tiny fish pond out in the sticks like this is going to be a ton of work for no payoff. The fish will most likely just get sick, die, and rot.

Freestanding fish ponds (without constantly-running life support systems like electric filters and frequent maintenance) need to be gigantic. A quarter of an acre in surface area and is pretty much the bare minimum for just a few bluegills.

Sorry to be a downer.
>>
>>29033253
>I found a turtle and placed it on a dock
I believe that. I'll even believe that it was a wild turtle.
But the fact remains, and you haven't addressed it, that that same turtle was on a bed, in a room in a house. That's not consistent with the way you claim to live.
But you've refused to acknowledge that at all, and that speaks volumes.

Yea.
I'm gonna stop posting now.
Auf weidersein, robots.

If I even did tell you that I go to my mother's house to visit sometimes, everyone would shitpost about "HE IS IN A HOUSEE!!!!111" and assume I live with my mother, which I don't, but you guys would still shitpost. I put on a tripcode on my threads only to keep imposters away.

But yea, taking off my trip and probably no more threads.

Funny how I drained my pond the same day I decide to stop making these threads.

Good day.

What I see is that Dockbro has been outed as lying for attention. If you want to carry on tickling his plebbit pen0r then that's your grievance.

I bet you like 3 years from now someone will bring up this whole Dockbro thing.

Dockbro! You missed the tour bus of 4chan. Anyways, dig it deep, but have a shallow slope near the dock for the frog bros. If youre ambitious, make a waterfall somehow, that leads to an underground cave which leads to a cool seekret pond. Also make a river, I love rivers, make a river attached to your pond please, here's a pic or a pond/dam thing, it slowly flows into the river behind me. I want to drain it
>>
actually if you think about it its reasonable for him to stay under roof some days in the winter,or when it rains.also to get his water supplies and maybe even bathe.that doesnt change the fact that he is building docks and ponds and has no worries,whie many of us either wageslave all day or even worse,we lament ourselves.so fuck you haatefaggets
