Rhino, For your type of filter, I think it would take quite a while for the bacteria to die of oxygen starvation, but it will also start to starve to death for lack of ammonia and nitrites it needs for food fairly quickly. The number that die will be relatively small for the first few hours, but...

Based on responses from other posters, I guess I may be alone in thinking that Scooby is describing an *indoor* water feature -- if so, wind would presumably not factor into things, but what happens if there is a disruption in your water source? I have visions of the house burning down when...

I thought I was destined to be frogless this summer, but all of a sudden (and all in one day) we have 4 little frogs! We're so happy. You'd think we were announcing a birth the way we keep telling everyone. LOL I think they were waiting for more plant life or something. Things were slow this year...

I recently posted a request for help with Flukes and would like to thank all those that helped me out - the problem is gone - I think. However, on waking up this morning I found I have a one year old koi doing spirals in the centre of my pond. He seems to be bent slightly sideways and...

I have raised 4 koi for the last few years. They are currently about 12" long. About three weeks ago, I added three small koi to the pond. Everybody seemed to be doing fine. About 10 days ago, the big koi stopped eating. One of them appeared to have spawned, since I saw the eggs, and I...

ok, reading about how fish can disappear have got me paranoid. remember my sick koi??? well I have not seen 2 of them (one , the orange & black) in several days.. don't dead fish float??? found 2 dead ones over the past several weeks, & they were floating.....( no signs of what was wrong with...

H E L P ! ! My lotus leaves are turning brown about 3 days after they reach the surface. No Ariels yet. About 3 inches across. Started with tubers 3/4 by 4 inches. Chawna Basu and Chineese Double Rose. Planted in sand and kitty litter in a 8 gallon tub 16 in across. approx 6 in below water...

I know it will be hard for you to answer this without all the details and specs of my pond, but maybe if you've had a similar experience it will ring a bell with you. I have a 4000 gallon pond in it's fourth year, and everything is wonderful. Clear water, healthy fish, spawning, hatching, lily...

I've been looking for a half hour now and can't find a 'good deal' on those black containers for plants, the kind without holes. Does anyone know of a good place? My usual place to buy online now has a $10 minimum s/h charge... -- Wendy* in N. California, "Our greatest glory is not in never...

Hi. I've noticed for the past week or so that there is a swarm of flying insects hovering over my new, small turtle pond. (about 150 gallons). There is LOTS of plant life in the pond, a filter, a tiny waterfall (for aeration) 3 turtles, one oranda, and a few newly hatched fish (from eggs I had...

I had heard of fish getting caught in milk crates. When they're young, they can dart in/out, but they don't seem to know that they've grown and can't do that any more. Perhaps you should check into making PVC stands for your plants instead? For as "smart" as the fish are, they sure are stupid! If...

Depends. If it's commercial powder, I mix it with orange juice, garlic powder and a squirt of baby vitamins, knead it into a ball, and pinch off small pieces for them. If I do the whole routine (blend whole shrimp, fish pieces, crayfish, lobster, whatever, spinach, wheat germ and all the...

Hi Pat, What kind of foam are you using? Mark

What is best way to add skimmer to an established pond? Either diy or store bought. Plans? Websites? Thanks, Dan.

I would love to have water lettuce. I'm not sure if you can ship to California but if you can leave me a email and I will pay for shipping. Judy "Mike" wrote in message ... Hello,

I walked out to the pond like i do 100 times a day, and i startled the fish so bad one became airborne and landed in the dirt! Had i been the cat, he'd be a goner!

I built a walking bridge for my pond yesteday: http://www.tiversa.com/bridge
