What fishes can i put in a pond? ( and other questions)?
its a 40 gallon,and i was wondering what HARDY fish i could put in, could i put Black moors in?
also what small filters can i get from online preferably UK websites (because that's where im from) to put in my tank. im looking for a UV one.
could anyone give me any feed back on this filter

is it suitable?
and do i need a fountain so the water dosent freeze ? is there an alternative for a fountain?
and if anyone can find a small external or internal filter for me that would be great.
any questions please ask as i will reply on this ASAP
The hardiest fish for ponds are Comets, Shibunkins and Koi. All are reasonably priced (here's in Canada they are anyways). Black moors are more of a fancy goldfish and they can handle colder temperature of a pond but you might run in to problems as they can have trouble surviving as they are as hardy as the fish I mentioned above. The filter you have linked is suitable especially since fresh water fish tend to be dirtier fish. Make sure where you place your pond has shade, lots of exposure to sun cause algae even if your filter has a UV sterilizer. I'm not sure how cold it gets where you are but where I live (can get to -30C) a fountain will not prevent freezing, the better solution is to store the fish indoors during the winter months and outdoors in the spring, summer and fall. Most goldfish can survive in 65F temperature water. Or if you can make sure it's deep enough that the pond doesn't freeze through. Try ebay for filters and pumps we found ours there for a really good price.
Turtle Aquariums: A Turtle Tank Set Up Differs From A Fish Tank!
The home of your turtle is referred to as the housing or habitat, one of the vital necessities of your pet. There are two main types, namely indoor, referred to as a turtle aquarium, and outdoor housing, often a garden pond. Although the indoor enclosure has similarities with the fish aquarium, it is not the same. Novice turtle keepers should keep this information in mind.
One of the most important differences between the two is the water level containment. Fish are aquatic creatures surviving in water alone, while turtles need both land and water. For this reason, fish tanks are filled completely with water, while turtle tanks are only half filled. Different turtle species require their own precise amounts of water according to their size, and these amounts must be accurately calculated and rigorously maintained. Watch your turtle – it should have a high enough level of water to enjoy swimming, but the turtle should also be able to stand in some shallow areas of water, and have a rock or log to climb out and bask on to dry off.
When purchasing a turtle aquarium, make sure that you consider the size your turtle will grow into as an adult. Turtles normally grow three to even four times their infant length as they mature. Therefore, the most ideal aquarium size for your pets is three to four times the length or size of the biggest turtle. The tank width must be twice as large, and the height should ideally be 1.5 to two times its length. Furthermore, choose a tank which is eight to 12 inches above the highest point the turtle can reach in order to prevent it from climbing out and escaping.
When buying turtle tank accessories, make sure that the welfare and safety of your turtle is prioritized. Never consider placing any rough stones in the aquarium, for they may potentially injure your pets. Select smooth stones instead. Stones which are found on roadsides must be sterilized before placing them inside the tank. All other store-bought accessories should be cleaned every week to ten days. An easy way to stick to your cleaning schedule is to take out and disinfect the accessories when you change your tank water.
Create an elevated place to allow your turtle to bask, either by piling smooth rocks or aquarium gravel on one side of the turtle tank. Other materials to use to create or enhance this basking area are Styrofoam™ or floating cork, to improvise a bridge or plastic raft. The other side of the tank should be used for swimming holes.
A proper filtration system is likewise a necessity. When you make sure that the cleanliness and sanitation of the tank are maintained, you insure the health of your pet. An ideal power filter, which you can submerge in the water, is recommended. This submersible filtration system makes use of foam as the means of filtering. Rinse the foam using cool and clean water every week.
The purchasing and setting up of the turtle’s aquarium are the most important tasks for beginner turtle keepers. Make sure that before you acquire a pet turtle, you are ready to give it proper housing the moment you bring it home. Remember, the best habitats for turtles are the ones that meet their daily needs by mimicking their habitat conditions in the wild. Your turtle needs space, soil, plants, food, water, and proper temperature control to ensure a long and healthy life.
