Answer
Hi, whell the first thing to do is to keep their temp. at about 77 farenheith and make sure the bottom of the pond is filled with sand and rocks.Make sure to have a larg veriety of real aquarium plants and put quite a few to fill their suroungings.Also it may be a good idea to buy a good filtration system to keep the water clear and fresh.Make sure to also have a bit of decoration to make their lives intiresting and to have fun and explore.I also suggest that you feed them a veriety of foods for them to be healthy.If you have any further questions dont be shy to ask because i am always free.THANKS!
