since had my 60 gallon tank for a while and the fishs were getting bigger so have decided to upgrade to a pond i opt for a Fibreglass Marlin approx 250 gallon which is good and fit perfectly in my garden, since the pond finish i transfer the fishs and only bought 5 small baby comets but sadly one died and the rest is doing fine and still have the big one and loving the space..........

250 gallon pond with Oasis green to clean kit 6000, with Koi Air Pump 65 have all 3 airstone in pond in different position on low pressure but enought to give air will take more soon plus the pond is completed as just doing the finishing touch will be taking them shortly soon

@ Cat,you've got a thing about feet hehe,, i recall a post,where you asked to see pic's of Paul MTS feet :lol:
 
well well it been ages since i posted my pond pic alot thing have change the nice grassy type at top end is doing very well and grown nicely, the water have been clear as bell as have barley straw .................... all 17 fishs are doing well and growing nicely






got my very own Dictorship Adolf Hitler the fish at very top with black moustache :D :D

 
Great looking pond,

Ive got a Hitler fish in mine too! a koi with a black rectangular tash. I call him Hilter.

Funny thing is hes a Shusui Doitsu Koi Carp, a German breed :lol: :lol:

That slate round the pond really does look ace :)
 
nah dont see the Loaches often but sometime when lucky on the pond shelf.....but me guess i think they hidin behind the grassy plant or some couple caves i put in bottam of pond for them........

the filtering it, gravity fed???????,..........

well i dont have gravity filter if that what u thinking, but have Oasis Filter green to clean 6000 with UV, plus have blanket weed controller recently install couple month ago.......

The permanent solution to blanket weed problems.

Simple to install yet highly effective, the Blagdon Blanket Weed Controller contains a unique multi-frequency processor, which continually disrupts the calcium ions in the water, causing Blanket Weed to weaken and break down.

This device is harmless to other aquatic life, can be installed in minutes and works all year round.

Maximum Pond size: 23000 ltr/ 5060 gals

Wattage 1.6W




looks good, how are you filtering it? is it gravity fed?

and do you see the weather loaches often?

again, looks great :good:



lol funny that i name the fish Hitler too and it only a Shubunkin, have tryed get a better picture but the fish keep swimmin away from u and swim deeper lol

thank about the slates

I dont really know what to say.
I know you must love your fish but 17 in a 250 gallon pond is really over crowded. Looking at the pics its like looking at a tank in the local fish store.
I hope that you have lots of filtration and do regular water changes.

You say as well you have fish you think is wakin. Post a pic and we can id it for you.
 
have already mention abt wakin and u called them ugly......... at least i took them up for adoption and care for them swimmin happy in the tank..............

i appreciate the concern but there noway it overcrowded.......... 23 fishes then yes that overcrowded

i last clean the filter and the pump in october..............and no doesnt do water change.............................

yeah it look like a tank in store but it wonderful technolgy can be Pentax W20 digital camera be useful for u and other fish lover to see inside the pond for maintenance in summer :) which i will be doing as cleaning the bottam out..........................
