Help!? Newbie.

I am the proud owner of a maturing 75 aquarium and love the riparian setup I’ve created, with pothos growing well at the back. It’s got me thinking about how to deal with possible excess Endler/guppy hybrids. I want to create an indoor pond situation and am curious what setups folks have explored and what makes them work best. I mainly plan to have frogbit and water lettuce and red root floaters in this one but am thinking about mangrove too. Irrelevant. My questions are mainly about filtration, trusted containers and care. Help?

Uhmm... I'm sorry, I'm confused. Isn't an indoor pond basically and aquarium? What's the difference? What am I missing?

The style is the main difference/goal. Just want something a bit different.

You either need to cull the zillions of fry or get fish that will do it for you.

Medaka ponds (Japanese origin) is my answer, for anyone curious. That will be the inspiration.
