i think its fine, my firend had a pond for 6 years without a filter or any waterchanges or cleaning, the fish grew, bred, and were happy, they didnt feed the fish ether. i think the pond was over 20,000G it was over 50'x50' and 2'-6' deep, whatever that equals, but yeah, it made its own ecosystem and had lots of insects in it for food, and all the good stuff, they shut it down and gave me the fish, there was atleast 100, and it only had 2 when the pond first started.

8 goldfish in a 30 gallon tub is destined for disaster if you ask me. How new is it?

[guppyguppyfish]

well i gave away 4 goldfish.
the oxygenator is elodea crispa, the lily is still unknown, sorry.
its only 2 months old.
