Just wanted to let you know I used to have a fish tank and tried putting little bluegill in it but they wouldn't stay alive. I also tried a little 1 inch bass minnow and it didn't do good either. I did have a pumpkin seed that lasted a couple weeks though. Good luck!

were u planning on using actual pond water and soil and plants and stuff? It seems to me that making it as close to a pond as possible would be best.

Oh i just didn't know what the point of the whole thing was, I had a friend who did this a couple years ago but never asked him why.
