well after shading the pond for a week and utting some barley straw in - the blanket weed seems to be retreating and my sterlet is still swimming about happily!
Last weekend we also bought 2 7" Fan Tails - here's a pick of one of them and the sterlet
and then last night we noticed some 6-8" Jap Koi for sale in the local newspaper for £10 each - we chose 2 of the biggest (turns out to be a friends dad that breeds them) - he has some beauties - one weighs 22lbs
here's one of the koi - it's a lovely colour - looks cream but it's got a bright yellow shimmer - think I'll call it sunny
the eyes are huge
what do you think?
