My wife and I have purchased some property that has a 2.5 acre pond on it. I've been told by the previous owner that the pond is about 30 ft. deep at its deepest point. My question is this. Would it be possible to use a lawn sprinkler pump to create a fountain aerator for this pond? Has anyone...

Has anybody drained a small pond, cleaned it, and refilled it? How would I re-introduce my fish to the new water? The pond in question is about 250 gallons in size and has been in operation since 1998. The fish are gold fish and shubukum. Thanks. Gene

Ok. I inherited 3 koi when I bought my house in July 2004. (Two black/orange/white and one black/orange) I have carefully maintained my atrium pond and all are doing well. In August 2005 I bought a "bright yellow" koi and introduced him to the pond. He's growing and seems happy. I've been feeding...

I noticed my fish were spawning & I rescued a bit of pond weed with some eggs attached & brought them inside in a one foot tank with some of the pond water. A few hatched 2 days ago. They are very small & swim erratically & attach themselves to the glass on the side of the tank. What can I expect...

Hi, I want a pump that will cost the least to run since it will be running fairly constantly. I plan mostly a water garden so I will probably have lots of leaves dropping into water. I will also keep mosquito fish in it. Any filter considerations welcome!!! So any recommendations for 250 gal....

I had a previous problem with algae which I cured successfully, but now I am suffering with a sludge issue. I have a pond that is 5m x 5m x1m and has adequate filtration and plant cover. The fish are not overfed, and eat everything I give them. I now have a green sludge forming around the...

Thanks to all who gave me information and advice about my first years fry. I followed everything people said and expected two or three baby fish at the end. I now have nearly forty 1" to 1.5" brown/orange fish. Thanks all -- XBL : D0C RAY We'll be Gunning for you

Hi.My first time here in this forum.Would appreciate some advice please.

Hi All, I am thinking of doing a pond about 18ft x 8ft I am looking at a rubber pond liner, I have found a firestone 1mm at a reasonable price in the UK. Are they good? Cheers

I have just noticed strange jelly like deposits on the underside of most of the leaves of my water lilies in my pond. They appear to have eggs in them. Can anyone tell me what they are and are they something to worry about? If so what should I do. regards tenthtiger

I've got six koi, aprox 2-3 inches long. In the tank at the nursery where I purchased them, they were all pretty used to people. I've had them here for over a week and they continue to hide or race around the tank when I approach. Can anyone tell me how long it takes them to warm up to you...
