While feeding my pond fish today I notice about 30 miniscule fry, maybe 2.5mm long. I would love to rear these and then reintroduce them back into my pond. Can anyone give me advice on how to look after them, whether to remove them from the pond, etc. Thanks, a happy fish Daddy! -- XBL : D0C RAY

Just installed a 500 cu. in. priming pot for a Sequence 5800 pump. Before turning the pump on, I flooded the line and made sure there was water in the pump and there was water up to the top of the little dome on the priming pot lid. When I turn the pump on the water is sucked down a bit leaving a...

I have a pond with carious types of goldfish, ranging from 2 to 6 inches, 2 are koi that are about 4 inches. all are healthy. Something I've noticed is a few fish are taking nips at one of the koi, they go up to the koi's sides and what looks like its taking a nip out of it, sometimes the fish...

Recently my girlfriend saw some blue goldfish while away with work. She was unsure if they are indoor goldfish, or can be kept in a pond. Does anyone have an idea what species of goldfish are blue, and what their environmental needs are? Furthermore does anyone know of a UK dealer who stocks...

I had obtained a tropical lily called a Dauben, and was told it is quite self adjusting, so much that it will only grow so large in a small aquarium or container or if placed in a pond it could also get to about 6 or more feet in spread.....I had it planted in a 29 gal tank, and its bloomed a few...

with one plant a month ago, my pond is almost half covered with water lettuce, so I have to start tossing it out. anyone want to trade plants? or if you really want some, I can ship for shipping costs. (some of you may remember me a few years back that I sent off lilies to several of you for...

Do it exactly by the directions in the kit in regards to the quanity of water needed for each test? Some of you may already be doing this, but when I brought it to the attention of a local fish store, who has been in business close to 35 years it had never dawned on him to cheat a bit, but not...

It looks as if my goldfish have Ich. If any of the tropical tank fish have it, I use a Interpet Anti Whitespot product, but what's used for ponds ? It's a very small 6' x 4' x 2' pond with lots of plants and a waterlily Peter

What do youall do with your fry? If I try to keep all those now in my pond every thing will smother. Pixi

Hi!! I am new here and am looking to gain a wealth of information on ponds. I am looking to put one in this week or the next. And I have no prior knowledge on ponds or watergardens but I am hoping to learn all I can and come up with something good. Thanks, Rob "Koi A'hoy!"...

I woke up this morning to the screaming in my ear, "The Pond is empty". So I stumble out of bed to go check it out, and it was down, but only about 8". The voice of doom and gloom had overreacted. Damn waterfall is leaking again, despite the new underlay last year. I decided to pull some Algae...

I should add that our pond is on a every third day fill cycle, it gets new water with I tested and is a very low ph so that should bring it down every third day right? Also What is this KH ? What does it do? The strips I have test for Hardness, Chlorine, Bromine, ph, Alkalinity and Stabilizer. I...

Had a friend recommend trying here to get a couple suggestions on a pool problem. My mother's pool has terrible algae stains on the vinyl liner of her gunnite pool. After hurricane Ivan the pool sat dormant. Now there is what I can only assume is algae (I am an old SPS reef tank guy) all over the...

Does anyone know if I can use some of that silt-screen material as an under-liner? Also...anyone have problems with rodents chewing on the liner from beneath? Any way to prevent that from happening. My pond liner is going in this week. Rich Holub here in Taxachusetts...
