Cichlids + pond = ??

[JuanD15]

Hi guys, well i have a 150gal rubbermaid tub and well im using it, currently i have a group of Geophagus red humps, clown plecos, and 2 Elliotis, well i was planning on moving 1 more pair to the pond, and i heard that i need some sort of Filter for it.

i have Water Lettuce & Water Hyanc?? ( i was told by a Friend this could take care of the Pond without me needing a Filter

so do i really need a Filter?


Thanks

Personally I keep some fish in pond - rather tanks outdoors - without filters, but with plants.

I do wonder, however, about the temperature. You know better than I do - obviously - what your wether is - but do remember, for Thorichthys 20 C AVERAGE is more or less as low as you should keep them. Orangeheads require even more heat

Dang i lost a Ellioti, i think to Bloat its belly was FAT and he was floating, well the pond stays at around high to mid 80s but the good news is that a friend told me to Move my pond to her Fishroom, and thats what i will do, this weekend i was busy with my highschool Graduation but probably by next weekend i post pics of it so you can see it.


Thanks
