Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 take the easy route then...bird netting you use in yer garden to keep birds off plants, fruit, etc.. easy peasy as for bought water..why not just save rain water? you can also use tap if u add some fish cure stuff you can get from yer local pet store... nikki_mackovitch May 11, 2005 6:19 AM Fountain WAS Re: Memories Geesh, the list is getting longer! :)Tis good though, these are the things I need to know. Thx Fraggle!Just to be on the safe side I would then use bought water. But now in thinking about the screen, I worry about rust and polluting the water that way.I think at this point I am going to do some research at the library, online and the garden store and lay out some plans to see if it would work and keep the fishies safe.If not, I stil have a beautiful little fountain for the birds and myself to enjoy!Nikki , fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote:> and dunno wot they put in yer water over in Chi-town land...but here they add chloramine...which doesn't evaporate, and fishes turn their gills up toTo send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 There is special netting that we use in aquariums. You can get it in bigger pieces or sew smaller pieces together to make bigger pieces.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 That's a good idea too, thx! I may just stop by the pet store to see if they have this netting or anything else they recommend. Not to just wait for the heat and see the temp of the water. Thx all! Nikki , " Lynda " <lurine@s...> wrote: > There is special netting that we use in aquariums.
