My wife and I bought a new house with a modest sized lot this past May. From the start I have wanted to put in a medium-sized fish pond in the back with a small stream/falls feeding it. Does anyone have any advice on how to start, and especially how to build the falls? We have an embankment in the...

Hi, I have an oval pond (30ft x 50 ft) with island that was put in where there used to be farm buildings. No liner and seeps away with edge erosion. Looking at the many web sites, there do not seem to be any solutions along the lines of my thoughts which are; Dredge out the silt and get a max...

Recently my girlfriend saw some blue goldfish while away with work. She was unsure if they are indoor goldfish, or can be kept in a pond. Does anyone have an idea what species of goldfish are blue, and what their environmental needs are? Furthermore does anyone know of a UK dealer who stocks...

Hi, Does anyone know if there are any pond centres in Herts/Cambs? We're looking to buy a pond. We have quite specific ideas on how big and what shape we want the pond and would prefer a shell rather than lining. We're looking for a place that has a good selection. Any help appreciated, Steve
