Hello my name is TobyTurtle. Could some one write back to this family that found me so that hopefully they will leave me alone. :) I live on their creek which is really nice. It has a nice pond and lots of vegetation around to hide and find lots of food. Today was a nice beautiful San Diego day...

I saw 2 little fish in my pond a few days ago. they were only 1 in long, one was white/red/black the other black/orange. (there are also a couple strange ones that are 2 inch long, which I did NOT put there) I am not having any luck taking pics of them, for you to identify..*darn* so, anyway,...

Ingrid help, anybody else can jump right on in with suggestions. I noticed some of my GF have black in their gills (inside). Is it something to be concerned about. I have tested the water and all seems fine. They look fine none are wacking out. None of my Koi have this. I never noticed this...

Anyone interested, Regans Nursery located in Fremont, Calif. is having their first annual Koi show this weekend, 13th and 14th.

I have a tetra canister filter. Seems like it's been about a year since I cleaned it. Last time I disconnected it and simply cleaned it out. I'm wondering if I can some how reverse the water flow to clean it out? I assume it has good bateria at the bottom, but I'm sure there's lots of gunk down...

I now have pond pictures on the webshots site. the url below will get you to my pond album called 'Rippling Waters' http://community.webshots.com/user/aspenjd Sue W

I decided to start yanking out most of my floaters etc before the weather turned COLD here & didn't have that much to do when the water turned frosty. (my pond was 85% covered) (I will post pics in a day or so,,,, ) the lilies are still blooming etc so I can't pull them yet. I was surprised at...

I am a new pond owner ...? I have received more good information from this group than I can tell you. Thank you all But I was wondering if there is anyone in the group from Pensacola, Florida ?

Someone had posted pictures of a pond that was surounded by a glass block wall. The pond has incredible lighting and glass block glowed. Does nayone know of this pond and where I could see it again?

Can't find the thread now, but someone asked about the glass enclosed pond. Is this it? http://www.kissingfrogs.tv/

The bucket is a five gallon size... http://community.webtv.net/drcmtc3/pictures/scrapbookFiles/mailedD41.jpg http://community.webtv.net/drcmtc3/pictures/scrapbookFiles/mailedD42.jpg http://community.webtv.net/drcmtc3/pictures/scrapbookFiles/mailedD33.jpg Denise

So a 600 gallon pond wasn't enough. I wanted something out by the swimming pool, so I took a 25 gallon flower pot, plopped a water lily in it, a few strands of elodea, a crawfish, 30 or 40 tadpoles, and a half dozen gambusia (mosquito fish, sometimes referred to as "minnows" by us...

I purchased an Apple Snail ($4.99). Put him or her in my 3' deep pond. Within 20 minutes he was at the top munching on these floating lettuce like plants I have. I knocked him down twice. Happily I found him on the bottom this morning munching on the bottom gunk. Are these guys a danger for plants?

I brought 2 gold fish about 10 days ago and another 4 about a week ago, to go in my pond. 5 of these fish seem happy and active, swimming as a small shoal together around the pond. The remaining fish however stays in shallow water under some weeds, and rarely moves unless provoked. He seems...

I am in zone 5 and fall is in the air. My water temperature is down to 60 degrees F. Should I stop fertilizing my hardy lillies now? If not, when? TIA John

I have the dry ingredients and make liquid fertilizer for my planted aquariums. Does anyone use liquid fertilizer for their ponds ? My water lettuce does not seem to be growing like expected.
