what could they be eating? dragonfly and mayfly nymphs .. water boatmen and other beetles .. maybe even snails.. IIRC they eat lots of different things.. (see the group isn't dead yet, but a lot has changed since I was last here 5 years ago..(and sadly some things are still the same))

The stock tank is free to whom ever can pick it up. It has been predrilled to setup as a filter.( The one from Skippy's Pond Page) All you need are the fittings to finish the job. I already had it running, but have since build a bigger one out of block.

I stopped feeding the pond goldfish a week ago after the first frost. Since then it has got warmer and fish have risen to the top of the pond. Should I resume feeding or leave it till Spring. Also Ive taken the pump and filter out as I have been told its safe to do so in Winter. Any advice...

Again we have two sliders in the 2000g pond. All this pond contains is one waterlily and a handful of parrots-feather. A pump keeps the water moving. What can these sliders be eating? There are no fish in this pond and few frogs. Anyone? -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since...

I'm looking for a more durable material for my pond filter. I've recently upgraded to a 60 gallon barrel. On the previous filter I used a 19" floor buffer pad as a solids filter with very good results. The 60 gallon barrel has a larger diameter, so I'm looking for something with a similar...

Hi,just revamped my pond,my question is after i put the liner in we had to get the level raised(with concrete) for the paving around the edges,now on the deeper concrete sections water is seeping through,is there anything to stop this, thanks --

Had a freak hail storm on Saturday in Chicago. There was about a1/2 inch of hail (1/4in size) on my deck. The size of the pond is 10'x4'x3'D. I lost 7 goldfish (about 7" in length). What happened? Did the hail cool the water too quickly? This never happened before. Ken

I haverecently set up a whiskey pond barrell. I'm having trouble keeping fish alive in it.They seem to be gasping at the surface and are very lethargic. This would suggest a lack of oxygen? I have several plants in there including a lily the leaves of which seem to blacken after a while. There is a...

Taking off the netting today I have just had a good look at my pond after the winter - and was dismayed to see that blanket weed appears to already have started to sprout , which considering the coldness I find amazing. Last year I had a real job keeping it under control. I am sure its been asked...

When I top my pond up how much dechlorinator should I use. I top up from the tap and our water is chlorinated. Do I use sufficient to de-chlorinate the full pond (it is a fairly small pond), or do I just use sufficient to dechlorinate the amount of water I am adding? I have had a few problems with...

I have a 2000 gal pond with an EPDM liner. When it rains the ground water pushes the liner up and pond water is pushed out of the pond. I have lost two batches of fish this way. I am considering digging a hole at the deepest point of the pond under the liner and putting a 10 gal galvanized trash...
