Welcome to the Web Page of Bill and Barbara of Bethel Acres, Oklahoma, here you will find news and tips on Koi and Horse keeping.
And whatever else comes to mind.
It just came to mind that Koi do better with a lot of oxygen in their water. How to do this you ask?
Why, just click here to go to my air pump page. Also you will learn a trick (?) that will be a great help in keeping your pond clean with no extra work on your part!
We put a greenhouse over the pond in the winter, this is the pond inside.
I have built an excellent filter for small ponds, less than 1000 gallons. It is easy to make, super easy to maintain, will not clog up, clean it once a month with very little effort, and best of all, it will clear up your pond! If you have a larger pond, make 2 (or more) or make it bigger. Click here for pictures and instructions. I love this filter!!!

The Oklahoma Koi Society's second Annual Koi Show was GREAT, Sept 5-6 1998 in Oklahoma City. Click here or the Oklahoma Koi Society web site.

Beside our koi pond we have a Lotus Bog
Also we have few goldfish.
