Hi. I've been a lurker in this group. Sorry not to have introduced myself before; I've been distracted by a horrible epidemic in my fish followed by a crash...
Hello Joan I'm sorry to hear of your epidemic and hope you have everything back to normal now. The questions that you pose have crossed my mind many times...
Dear Joan: Welcome to the group! I live in earthquake country. I have made at least minimal plans for my land animals. The Koi I have would be on their own...
Hi Sue, I just love you, You are so sensible. I have thought about this scenario, too. We are planning to sell our house and move in about 3 years. ...
Hi Sara I did'nt see your pics. I'll have a look on the site in case they are on there. I hope the people who buy your home later on like fish. Sometimes...

I had the same results in a 500 gal pond!, many trips to the pet shop. Anyone in Vegas need some fish? They do eat alot! idle fins are the devils tools bad...
Hi Debbie That was a nice surprise!! I'm happy that your trout and goldfish are getting on together. It's always a worry when you introduce them. It will...
Hi Lucinda I have had a good spawning this year too. I find it hard to part with them but, if they spawn like this next year I will have to find the new...
as fry they are really good at cleaning up the plants in my indoor tank, I have them until they are about 3" and nice & fat. Hard to give them up, But any...
It is a problem. Your babies sound lovely, especially the orange/pink ones. I don't really know how many I've got because the dark ones don't show up ...
you do have alot of fish, I should talk. I started with about 10 gold fish, now about 60. I have already sent many to the pet shop. Because My pond started out...
Well, Lucinda, I don't know what is wrong with my fancies, they just don't bother and I'm pretty sure I have males and females! One thing I don't have are...
We have babies in our pond(shubunkins,and not sure about the other two yet).....plants are very important I think. They can hide and I feed them in the plant...
I am glad to see others are seeing many new goldfish in their ponds. I am such a newbie to all of this that it was a huge surprise for me to see all this...
I need to jump into this group and ask a question. I have an algea eater (not a very pretty fish) in my goldfish pond. The temp rarely gets below 45 ...
I think I am an extreme...I have a pond heater in the bottom of my pond that keeps the temperature whatever I set....from what I have read that the fish tend...
Hi, I was told that plecos(if this is the algae eater that you have) cannot survive temps below 56 degrees Fahrenheit, so I brought mine in for the winter. Deb...
When my babies were tiny I fed them amongst the plants, but now they have started to come out and try to 'steal' the big ones food! Some are more brave ...
I had to bring my algae eaters, pelco, also not a very pretty fish, in for the winter. Their limit is about 60-65. I have a cheap set up, 10 gal tank and a...
lots of plants, my fancies just love to rip them apart! I replace them about every other month. And I feed them High end Koi food. The males have small white...
Hi Debbie When it gets colder you fish will go deeper where it's warmer. I don't know how big your babies are but, try and get them as fat as possible in...
Hi Larry I have a pond heater too but it was so mild last Winter that I did'nt have to use it. Fish do go dormant when the temerature goes below 50F-ish and...
I think enough food gets into the plants it softens up and turns into mush so they can eat...that seems how my bunch has survived....nice to hear from...
