This is our first pond. It is about 110 gallons. Notice our rock seals? We had goldfish and comets in it last year but it is too small to stay open over the winter so we moved the fish and plants to the big pond for the winter. Next spring we will put the babies in it. Know anyone who wants some fish??!!!
These are some of our fish. The multicolored ones are Koi and the two orange ones are Comets. I want more Koi, but with all the babies, we are running out of room in our ponds! We will probably give most of the baby fish to the pet store to sell after the winter. We want to make sure they are too big to be sold as "feeder" fish though. This year (1999) our two original Koi died. They were Whitey (a white, orange and black Koi) and Blackie (a 1/2 black 1/2 red Koi). I think Whitey died because the pump quit and they didn't get enough oxygen and the big fish die first from that. Blackie died because I forgot I left the water on when topping up the pond and I put too much new water in.
