Re: Pond Picture
what kind of catfish? Also, any with a reference point? Like a chair or person, so we can get a idea of the size of the fish and pond?

OMG I am so jealous! Just wondering, how did they acquire all those comets and koi? Did they buy them, or did they breed? I know it can get rather pricey to acquire so many koi. And I wanna see more of your pics.
I have a plastic one with a koi, shubunkin, and four comets in it. |

Re: Pond Picture
Here are some more pictures.
None of the koi has breed yet, but they are really close. the goldfish did almost immeadiatly, and the minnows have like rabbits. the minnows are absolutly necessary because they keep the misquito's from breeding. I think the most expensive fish they bought was 12 dollars. a few of the koi are so beautiful, perfect looking koi. its amazing to watch them all school up and do laps. |

Re: Pond Picture
I would say I'm speechless but then I wouldn't be able to say Magnificant.
You have by far the most wonderful Pond I've seen in a while , good job Don't know the name of the goldfish but the minnows are Gambusia and yes they are wonderful at keeping the skeeters away, some spawnig mat tied to the sides may get the Koi to go at it but you'll need to keep an eye on it due to the tasty nature remove it soon after the spawn and put it in a child's pool with a foam filter and an air supply godd luck though if you had more fish you may have to get a bigger or another pond oh and by the way WOW

Re: Pond Picture
I was under the impression that if goldfish and koi got big enough, they'd eat littler fish... like minnows. Do some get eaten? You said they breed like rabbits, so I'm sure there would be enough to survive getting snacked on LOL
