Hey Sam, that's a pretty cool yard you've got there.

Sam, any Koi in that pond?

This guy was a painting classmate of mine and other than Fine Art he raises the overpriced gold fish. I say that with all respects.

He's a Vietnam veteran to boot.

All Kidding aside...thats a very nice garden Sammy.

Could you tell us about the water plants in your pond?

Mine got wiped out by the hurricane and I am looking for some tips.

Just gold fish Bill, last year I had 9.....now I've got about 109

the little buggers are worst than rabbits.

3 are about 9".....6 are about 6 to 7"....and the 100 vairy from 1 to 4" .....strange how the 100 are the same age but vairy so much in size.

Can't tell you much Timmy, I'm still learning myself.
Due to the fact that the plants multiply nearly as fast as the fish, I have to keep yanking loads out.
All the plants came from mates who were over stocked and offered them when I built the pond 3 years back.
There are 4 water lilies, English and Canadian pond weed for airiation, spider plants that are running riot and a few others that I dont know the names of.
The pond has become very natural looking over the last 2 years and the wild life in it is quite suprising.
If you know anyone close by that has a pond Tim, just ask if the have any spare plants, I'm sure they will have at this time of the year....I pulled a load out of mine at the weekend and it all just got binned.

Sam.

You know...that's a pretty good idea Sam...

I'll ask my fish lady if she knows anyone with a pond.

Glad your fish are doing well its a credit to the environment you've established there.

My Comets were almost 9"....now they are all in the sewer courtesy of the big blow

It's sad when you loose something that you have created to mother nature, it makes you wonder if there really is a God.
I'm sure you will find someone with a surplus of plant life at this time of year, everything is growing like crazy and if you don't thin it out, the pond will just clog up with plant life and you will strugle to see your fish.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #39 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:12:52 PM »

Not sure Tim, think it's called nishicoi staple diet, might be a UK brand, off home in a few mins, will check it out.

I did Sam. Thank you.

Now I guess I should buy fish to restock.....

Kinda a strange hobby I guess....gardening and aquatics.

If you'd told me I would enjoy it when I was twenty.....well....
