and the pond gardening forum is more for plants.
I started my koi pond last summer, I kept a few goldfish
over the winter to get it balanced, and added Koi this summer.
I think the goldfish were a mistake. Now I have 50 2-3inch
goldfish I have to take out before their waste overloads
the system. I have 8 koi, about 8 - 10 inches. Here are
some of them, they're all butterfly koi.(long finned).
Also, one of my stray goldies.
They all come rushing up to the pond edge every time I walk
up, wanting food, the little piggies.
For some reason, this picture makes me think of autumn.
Maybe the fish remind me of yellow and orange leaves in the water.
