My 2nd largest Koi committed suicide tonight...jumped out of the pond. F'n Sucks....why do they do this. Sucks & Sad.

too bad i like to see some healthy competition

i maybe do a 3/4 water change once or twice a month, with no chemicals or testing the water. than agian i only keep fancy goldfish, which are easy to care for...

HOB filters are ok for smaller tanks, but once you go bigger, which you will. Canister Filters are the way to go. Fluval is my choice.

hello, i never conditioned or primed my water prior to a 3/4 water change, maybe once or twice a month, not to say i never done it...but not all the time. nor do i test my water. so yes straight out of the tap. with no fish loss, than again i keep fancy goldfish, which are hardy & easy to care for. just call me lucky.

thanks guys...i have decided not too purchase the uv sterilyzing light & just grabed a bunch of floating plants & bull rushes.....water clarity is awesome & the pond has a great natural look.

eh guys...thanks for all the great advice. now how about adding a UV light device...would that kill my plants, starve them out?

thanks guys.....for the tip. picked up 2 water lettuce & 2 hyacythns. smelled that incorrectly i am sure...let's see what happens

i put rosy red minnows feeders...in my pond last year & they multiplied, pretty cool.

Hello, What is the best way to control algae in a small pond, approx. 100gals w/fancy goldfish. Thanks, G.
