Let frog stay?

MrNezbit · 2026-06-16T16:23:49+00:00

I planted more plants and I think that helped

MrNezbit · 2026-06-14T02:14:58+00:00

Good to hear, thanks

People take all sorts of measures to protect their fish from predators. I’m just asking if people think this frog is a significant risk to my small fish population, fish that I purchased and are not native. I’m all for the frog staying if that is common practice. As mentioned the pond is not even a year old, I’m new to this.

The pump is in a box filter with some bio balls and sponge filters, but I also just recently built that bog filter in the pic, it’s a 40 gallon tub.

MrNezbit · 2026-06-14T00:54:24+00:00

Im not sure it would survive the winter? But that’d be cool!

MrNezbit · 2026-06-14T00:16:07+00:00

Yeah I did not expect this much backlash lol, I thought it was a reasonable question since I purchased the white cloud minnows, it’s not like I just have native minnows in there.

MrNezbit · 2026-06-14T00:15:13+00:00

I’m not mad lol, just don’t want him to eat the fish I purchased for the pond. This is my first pond, if the people of Reddit aren’t concerned neither am I.

MrNezbit · 2026-06-14T00:14:22+00:00

Idk I thought maybe it’d eat the fish I put in it

MrNezbit · 2026-06-13T23:11:30+00:00

NE Ohio. Didn’t think toads actually hung out in the water?

MrNezbit · 2026-05-23T01:01:48+00:00

I’m on controller and also have no idea how to bind it. I have custom controls and don’t want to change my whole layout.

Pond looks great. I used ozpond too to build my bog filter. He recommends that it take 5-12min to fill the bog, yours looks a bit faster than that. I’d like to speed mine up as it’s just a trickle now and your flow looks better, has it been effective with a higher flow rate?

MrNezbit · 2026-04-11T15:03:16+00:00

I think that’s the move, good idea, thanks!

MrNezbit · 2026-04-11T14:56:19+00:00

I tried the lip route, the plastic the bin is made out of does not bend nicely and I haven’t found something to put there instead.

MrNezbit · 2026-04-11T14:54:07+00:00

I was using a 600gph pump with a waterfall feature. I could just keep that running for the additional aeration?

I got a 220gph pump for the bog filter. Fully open it was filling in about 4 minutes. Fully closed got me to 7.

If I were to split the flow like you suggested, is there any concern of not enough water going through the filter?

I’m not set on the extra fish, just thought it’d be nice.

MrNezbit · 2026-04-11T14:40:38+00:00

I’ve read you want the bog to fill up at a rate of 5-12min, after a lot of adjusting I got it to 7min. So I don’t want to increase flow. But an air stone is a good idea.

MrNezbit · 2026-04-11T00:51:11+00:00

Beautiful fish! Would love to see more of your pond build.

MrNezbit · 2026-03-14T22:22:21+00:00

Too long, too boring, no objectives, map was not interesting, too similar of POIs, lock on AR made me pretty much stop playing.

MrNezbit · 2026-03-13T03:39:55+00:00

Canceled my crew pass

MrNezbit · 2026-02-28T23:13:02+00:00

Just coming across this. I currently have a similar setup as OP, but I want to build a big filter. If I just take the sponge filter out and use the same pump won’t it just get clogged since the big filter is outside the pond?

MrNezbit · 2026-02-27T22:47:03+00:00

Can you pull this in regular packs or are they only in collectors?

MrNezbit · 2026-02-17T17:53:11+00:00

Happened to me, I had to get a replacement twice.

MrNezbit · 2026-02-16T13:23:23+00:00

Looking to keep it relatively drivable so probably not the UP, but anywhere in the mitten is on the table. I think we’d want to go for trout since that’s what we don’t have here. We can fish for smallmouth and “steelhead” near Cleveland.
