After all those months of waiting, i finally got a pond! YAYYY!!! It turns out that it only holds about 720 gal though. i remember it being so much bigger before it got turned into a flower bed. oh well

Yamaha finaly got his pond though. Wing, Crokett, Tangie(new common), and himself are the only ones currently in there. Buffalo have fin rot so no pond for him yet.

My dad bought 10 little commons from the petsmart the a couple weeks ago because he think the pond will look a little bare. there's only 7 or 8 left though. I didnt even want them! i want the extra room for the koi, not for MORE fish! this is where Tangie came from. now im stuck with them.

Any ways, here are the pics







we had to cemet up the floor because of all this














the pond today

and the pics of the fish

that's it! sorry for so many pictures

Congrats,the pond is looking good.For the size that it turned out to be though,you are actually better off with the least koi possible as they need upwards of 250 gallons and more as they grow to their adult size.
Comets too are beautiful fish,and look wonderful swimming in a pond.Nice pics by the way.
What kind of filter have you added to it?

So beautiful! Nice and clear and the fish are lovely.

I really like the design of your pond and I'm sure that your fish will enjoy having that big new house. It's amazing how quickly that they grow outside.

Watching a pond is very relaxing and it's a whole new perspective on how the fish appear. ENJOY!!

Best,

That's beautiful! Very classic It would look gorgeous with a little fountain in the middle or one of those statues of a Roman goddess with water flowing down from a vase!

Your pond is very pretty! Your fish are probably loving it.

Very nice! Congratulations to you and your fish!

Congrats! the pond looks great!

thanks for everyone's comments



devs, i just added a filter today, a diy filter for now. its a tall round white container and i added some sponges. i couldnt get a proper filter yet because the whole family is going on vacation for a month and a half.

sorry to say, but there will be no electricity and no one can feed the fish. but i have seen a lot of small grayish worms in the pond though. i hope they will all pull through. but after i return, i am planing to buy them a pressurize filter.

Congrats for the new pond. I like your fish

They will most likely be fine,dont be suprised if your plants are nibbled on though.

that is like...one amazing pond -jelouse-
and some pretty adorable fishies

Don't be sorry about the pic's they are great! Thanks for showing us the process. The pond really came out nice, and your beautiful fishy sure look happy.

Do you have anything to protect it from prey?

great pond. am sure your fish will be very happy !

great fish i am sure that you are pleased with all that work that you did
