[heads of fish]

Ok ive just bought a new house which has the most amazing pond ive ever seen. its supposubdly 8 foot deep, 24 foot in length and 8 foot accross. It currently houses some lovely koi three of which are huge already (2foot ish) and cost the guy £800 each suposubdly.

I need to know of any specialist websites so that i can start my research please

how many gallons is that pond?

WHat sort of food should i use?

can i put a big sturgeon in with the koi or am i asking for trouble?

Thanks

The pond cuts the garden in half and has a bridge over one end of it. I need to get the precise measurements as im going off what the current owner says. It has a waterfall going into it at one end so i am asuming it is a pump fed filter and not a gravity one. Im goin to go round on the 23rd in order to get the full spec of the equipment so i know what i am dealing with and if i need to upgrade anything.

IM SO EXCITED WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Was on there yesterday looked really good. Words can not describe how excited i am. I built a friends koi pond last year and ever since have been desperate for a bigger garden so i can have a huuuge one on there. The great thing is this one looks better than i could ever have done. And it has lights in there WAHOOOOOO
