That's really cool! Outside container ponds are a great invention. Is that the filter I can see or an air pump? Are you doing green water?
Sorry you lost one of your fish. What kind of fish are the other 2

?
The fountain has a filter inside at bottom of the pond. It pumps 600 liters/hour, while the pond is 110 liters in volume. I hope that this setup is alright for the fish. Honestly, I am a huge beginner at this!!
What's "green water"? The water we use is a mixture of tap water and rain water. The tap water here in Germany doesn't have things like chlorine added to it and has a higher mineral content than US tap water, so it's easier to prepare for fish than US tap water. The past month, there has been enough rain to keep the pond level up, but it looks like we're going to have to top it off this weekend with some tap water - it's been really hot and dry for the last week.
The two surviving fish are both small plain goldfish! I'm looking forward to getting them back into the pond after their treatment is finished because they really like swimming around and hiding under the water lily and the other plants we have.
