kinda indoor and is well shaded so not much change in temp in summer. no 
need to worry bout winters.
changing water is not a problem. would 
prefer if it requires minimal cleaning.

can you suggest which 
fish would be good to look at from the top ?
im thinking a school of 
Neon tetra ? would they look good ? and a pleco ? and plants ? snails ? 
turtles ?

i currently have 6 of 2 inch white koi fish in there 
since 2 weeks. ill replace them. yeah they get huge.
THANKS FOR YOUR 
TIME

Then with the river rocks we have in our yard. I plant petunias & ground  
cover plant all around. Filled it, contioned the water, put 7 little gold  
fish in & wow! The are now 3 to 4 inches! But I am not sure what I should  
to about the green algea & such that make the water a little murky. I have  
a pump for the waterfall for oxigenating. Will the green stuff & the murky  
water hurt my fish?Thier names are Paverati,monet, picasso,ludwig,daisy,

Neons look grey from above so wouldn't work. Plecos grow too

large but an albino bristlenose could work and would be visible.

The key to minimal cleaning is a good filter and low stocking.
