I've just finished digging the hole (yay!), and am preparing to order the liner, i orignally planned to just go with a good ol' plastic liner, but the neighbor's handy man came over to check out what we were doing and he suggested using bentonite clay as the liner rather than a plastic liner. I've...

I am not sure about the deeper water part. I can tell you that lilies in general send out shoots to figure out what depth they are at. Then send out longer shoots until they reach the top. I your case when you moved the lilies to a deeper area they probably were in shock because they couldn't find...

Cool! Community ponds are nice - lots of activity and colors, but it can become problematic if/when meds are needed. Having them separated will make that easier. Plus it will keep "mules" from happening. And the goldies aren't as hard on the plants as koi are. Musta been hard to catch all...

Help. I have used a rubbermaid container and an aquariun biofilter pump to quarantine fish aquired at a show that ended up being sick (died) and were being treated chemically. How do I prepare it for use again? My thoughts are paracites, flukes and whatever else the problems were won't it stay in...

We have about a dozen frogs now in the pond. They are all variants of green to yellowish green. I hope to get some updated pics this weekend. Over the past few weeks I have seen a few that were olive green, with black spots. They are almost leopard skinned. I have seen one that was a few inches...

Wow what a day for my pond....I had to share it :) Enjoy http://members.cox.net/bokowski/fun/fun.html

OK, months ago I scoffed at you loonies spending good money on fish, how silly of you. I bought MY koi at Petschmart for like $2.99 each. I got two white with orange stripes, and two that are pale yellow. A few weeks ago one of the pale yellow ones came up to say hello and emmeril...

What level is the iron in your well water (in ppm)? If it's above 1.5 - 2 ppm, you should go for a conditioning system for your home, as higher iron levels can stain clothing, and cause buildup on your shower nozzles, faucets, etc.. Greg "FBCS"...

Whatever is in your water. Koi do just fine in fresh water, which will have some trace levels of various salts, not just sodium chloride, but also calcium and magnesium. (which affect the total hardness) Happy ponding, Greg "Khoa Tran" ...

I was out-of-town for a few days and returned on Sunday. Normally, I have somebody feed my koi when I'm gone for more than a day or two, but decided they'd be fine without any feedings. Upon returning home I gave them their usual food and they didn't eat it. I've tried feeding them several...

We just came back from a houseboat trip to Lake Powell in Utah. One of the coolest things were the carp. We stopped for gas at a marina and were amazed to see schools of carp at the docks (1' - 2 1/2' range) being fed by the tourists. They acted just like their domesticated Koi brethren, mouths...

Recently I have noticed that several of my Koi have been up at the surface of the pond and the waterfall. A few have died with no visible external problems. When they died, I looked at their gills and noticed that there were areas of gray and looked necrotic. Is this normal post-mortem, symptoms?...
