Here is my pond which is around 750 gallons. The fish are both around 3 inches long and are really cute. They are only two but a third might come to finish it off. Tell me what you think I recently finished the pond.

I think that the pond came out lovely,and wait until the end of summer when you realize just how big those two tiny fish have grown.

Keep us updated.

Looks wonderful!! I agree, I think your fish will grow very quickly in all that water

I anchored the net over the first set of rocks and tucked under the second set. There are folds in the liner that the fish go in all the time and lots of shade. Only about 1/5 of it gets shade and thats only happens when theres good weather (Washington)

Tommorow I am going to the koi retailer by our house called Moorehaven which is pretty popular to pick up my last koi.

Found one. Hes almost a dark grey, yet he is metallic and has almost a green shine in the sun. He is just beautiful and gets along with my fish.

Haha I will try. The fish is already turning colors and is much darker and still has a white tummy. Plus he sparkles so he looks pretty interesting. All the fish have been growing pretty good though.

Sorry about me not being here for awhile but I recently encountered green water over the past 3 weeks. What happened was the pre-filter on both of my pumps got clogged allowing very little water to pass through my filter. So I went out and bought a little filter box so the water goes through the 2 mats, then some filter balls, then through the pump up to a box of lava rocks and out through another mat. It is a long process of filtration but it is showing signs of clearer water lately. I have not been able to get a good glimpse of my little black fish lately so there have been no pics. Hope for the best

very nice pond

You should put more goldfish in there.
Don't you like green water? It is good for your goldfish.

K well I have been looking for a goldfish called wakin but they are still quite new to the U.S. So I am possibly getting another koi once my green water problems are not as bad. The koi are all around 3 inches and the orange one is close to 4 I would say
