My neighbor and I just relocated a black snake with a yellow belly that was making a home out of our garden storage box. It was pretty long, maybe 30", but not very thick. I'd be surpised if it was even and inch and a half. It wasn't heavy-bodied and didn't have a stubby tail, so I kind of ruled...

We've recently had a pair of mallards take up residence in our 3,000 gallon pond. It's been a nice novelty so far but I'm wondering what the long term effects might be to the health of the pond, plants and fish. We've done nothing to discourage them from staying and they're becoming accustomed...

I have a spring fed, 18,000 gallon, 17'x47' pond that I would like to add a solar-powered aerator to. Googling found several. http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product.asp?product_id=40-0072+MSTR Thomas 1/10 hp air pump delivers 1.4 cubic ft. per min. (CFM) at free discharge, or 0.8 CFM at 10 psi. It...

I want to create an invisible edge on a new pond. I've worked out the flow rate over the edge etc & the pump size etc. And I've had a few ideas re the plumbing. Basically I'm thinking of a storage tank idea, but if I go on holiday & the pond level drops a little then I'm concerned about the storage...

Nanotech Gadgets to Be Built by Algae? John Roach for National Geographic News March 29, 2005 Story is actually about diatoms (which are very kewl in and among themselves), rather than our garden pond variety single celled algae but still really interesting!

Apparently my newsgroup messages are going out but not showing up on my computer. My server support doesn't seem to know much about newsgroups. If people see this notice will you let me know please? Thanks

Hi all, anybody know the best way to get rid of green water, I have had the pump running with the UV light on for about two eeks know, and still green. I am now trying to use interpet green away, anyone ever tried this before. Or has anybody got any advice on how to get rid of the algae...

We have a 500 gallon pond with an assortment of Butterfly Koi, Shibunkin, Cat Fish, and Gold Fish--all have names. We did not know until 2 weeks ago that there are herons in Southern California. We came home from vacation to find Groucho gone; while we did not see the attack, there were gill...

I am at my wit's end, if I ever had any at all. Those fantail goldfish that I bought a month or so ago that immediately came down with both ick and fin rot, even though all of the equuipment was new and never used. The ick is long gone, but the fin rot keeps coming back. I keep changing the...

Can't seem to send a message here for some reason.

Don't let any "pond guys" tell you that you need this and that and whatever to make your fish live. My pond is only 8 by 4 and less than 3 feet deep. I only have 1 waterfall and a spitting frog for water circulation. NO FILTER and NOTHING ELSE. I was told I need a bio filter and yet I have not...

Okay, so it was only one toad who had been trying enjoy a little sunbath under the blackberry bush, but hey! The toads are here. Yeah, yeah, I know they must have been somewhere over the past few months, but... Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC

They were made illegal in Washington State a few years ago. You could find them everywhere before that, but no more. I'm going to Oregon soon, so was going to buy some there for my pond. Now I find you can't sell them in Oregon either. All I wanted was some colorful, fast breeding small fish...

Hi, I'm a 5-year veteran ponder, and a regular fan of this cool newsgroup. In the middle of winter, the PVC liner that came with my Beckett pond (4 x 6 x 18 ", 270 gal) kit ruptured, leaving 12 assorted Koi/goldies lying in 1 inch of ice and water. I raided our emergency water supply and...

My azolla and water lettuce are starting to show reddish coloration and the water lettuce is losing a few leaves. Nitrates are nearly zero since I only have 7 small, lightly fed fish (if that many) in about 70 gallons of water. In a planted fishtank I'd add nitrate to the water. Should I do the...
