Hi all, We are wanting to have a pond in our garden, only a small pond say 3 foot by 4 foot, if that. It is not for keeping fish in, but it would be nice to have either toad or frog spawn and to grow some plants in etc etc. There will be no running water feature - just still water. I realise...

Hi--- I am thinking of making an outdoor pond, including goldfish. But the neighborhood is loaded with free-running cats, plus racoons and possums. What do people with ponds do in that circumstance? Is a pond even possible, with goldfish and all?

Anyone any advise on how I could move 8 goldfish - I know it's quite silly but they do have sentimental value :) - (quite small, the biggest one is only 15 cm) abroad? They have to go by van overnight - say 24 h - I don't suppose I will be able to take them by plane? I was thinking of putting...

Hey all, I've been reading the posts here since I put my pond in last spring. I cannot tell you how much a newbie appreciates all the great advice that is spread around. I'va already started planning my extension for next spring and the construction of my veggie filter. This will be my first...

Something is taking bites out of the goldfish in the pond. Two have died and about half of the others have wounds. We've emptied the pond and repotted all of the plants. We removed all of the sludge when the pond was empty and sieved it to see if we could find anything. We've washed and inspected...

All my big koi (6) died in Hurricane Isabel (we live in Virginia, along the stretch where the storm hit the worst) . All the small ones survived. (Big=15" Small = 3 to 6") Two of them were dead by the morning after the storm, so I don't think it was oxygen starvation. (They have survived much...

Hi, I need some help with a problem I am having with my rose bushes. They are planted in a sunny area where they get enough light. But I get very few blooms and the leaves have black spots all over. Also, on another rose bush something seems to be eating the leaves. Are the black spots a...

Hi, has anyone got any good suggestions on getting rid of an over abundance of fish. Baby's, baby's, baby's. After several years we have just to many fish, makes it tougher to keep pond healthy, there must be over 30+. It's really hard catching them and there are so many. The Koi don't seem to have...

Hello, Dug my very small (about 8' x 4' x 18") about a year ago, put some frogspawn in it, it hatched, infested the neighbours gardens (but they don't have slugs now). Also put a couple of Sticklebacks in it, they bred, got a fantastic collection of pond snails. Today I had I visitor, a metallic...

My small garden pond is new this year. I have a few inexpensive goldfish, lots of Water Hyacinth, and a Water Lily. Would building a coldframe to cover it be enough to prevent significant loss? Or will it be neceessary to move plants and fish inside for the winter? Thanks much.

I used no chemicals in my new pond this year, not really knowing what I was doing (flying by the seat of my pants). It now has serious algae growth. Is this normal or should I use chemicals to curtail it? Lily Zone 6a

Hello All My pond is 5 feet in diameter, with a maximum depth of 22 inches. This seemed to be the sort of size indicated on my pond liner instructions. However, I recently read that a pond of depth less than 3 feet is insufficient for fish to survive the Winter when the Pond freezes. The pond...

Hi, I've just put up plans on a site for a low budget external pre-filter for small to medium ponds, particularly aimed at amateur or novice pond owners in the UK, although the principles are generally applicable anywhere. Find it at http://www.collinswebb.plus.com/otherstuff/ Constructive...
