Lisa, I have a 14x zoom on the camera. I was about 25 ft. away out of an open window. Nedra, The net is actually plastic hardware cloth on an aluminum frame. It works well around shrubs also to keep wildlife from munching and digging. I buy it in rolls from http://www.mcmaster.com/ . They sell...

Some told me last week about a guy in Davie, Fl (?) who has created a fresh water sting ray. He says they get about 14" long. Has anyone seen or know anything about this?

Goldfish are cold water fish and are perfectly fine at 45 degrees. I wouldn't waste your electricity trying to raise the pond temp. Now if your pond was in danger of freezing completely then I would heat it. Sam "animaux" wrote in...

What about using clay/sand in the bottom of the pond over the liner and planting pond plants directly in the mud. No pots and lots of places for water creatures to live. It would be muddy water after a rain, but it should settle back down and be clear...right? I couldn't have a lot of water...

Good Newbie Site? Zones? Filtering? Thanks JOhn

Well we are finally in our new home and on the advice of fellow pond people at Lowes we brought our preformed pond with us, framed it and it's gonna winter in the garage near a big window. So far snails, fish and frogs seem to have adjusted to the move fairly well. Turns out there were only 2...

To be boringly pedantic about it, the title was "The Mouse That Roared" by Leonard Wibberley. I believe the book came first, but the story also appeared as a play and a movie starring Peter Sellers. There was even a sequel - "The Mouse on the Moon". PlainBill On Sat, 29 Nov 2003 08:00:48 -0600,...

My name is John. I live at Assiniboia SK Canada. It is in Zone 3a. I have a 300 gallon pond outside which I'm enlarging in the spring. I have moved my 3 6" koi, 1 8" goldfish and 6 2" comets inside to a 150 gallon plastic stock tank. What kind of pump and filter should I use? My outside pump and...

I paid a few hundred to get fishpondinfo.com up and on the net. Now, they got me since I went over bandwidth quota! They got me triply. Got bill today for Oct - $85+. Since I didn't know in time, will get one next month for this month. Plus, I asked for an upgrade to prevent this - $79.68 per...

I am planning a new wildlife pond in the spring. I would like to avoid the "ring of rocks " look. I know that with the right planting and time the rocks would look more natural, but i was thinking about putting dirt/turf over the edge. I would like to have a very natural look where the plants...

Figured everyone might find this interesting, sorry for the cross post. - I got a frantic phone call yesterday from my girlfriend who said something about a snake in the fishtank. After I got her to calm down, the story went something like this: She had gone downstairs into her fathers...

It would depend on the type of cichlids. Angels are cichlids and the Koi would kill them just playing with them, Africans would more then likley kill koi equal in size, they do it to their own, like someone else said they are terrible when they breed, which is often for cichlids. If your Koi are...

Happy TG! I am in So. Cal. Today we have relatively strong easterly winds, blowing ash and soot from the recent fires all over. Supposed to stay in doors today, everything has a layer of black soot on it. It seems to be floating on the pond surface and into the skimmer. Are their any dangers in...
