Hi Romel Dy, Jose Lee,
Thank you for the comprehensive comments, suggestions and sound advice. Looks like we really have to part with some of the kois, maybe in the future when we have a bigger place then we can plan for a bigger pond.
I am attaching here some pictures I took today, over looking […]
HI JAKI,
If your pond is 40gallons instead of 400 gallons, it is probably a glass or fiberglass aquarium & not a pond. Nevertheless, whether it is an aquarium or a pond, it is way too small for 13 kois and it is a miracle that they still seem healthy. The kois you bought from BiorR […]
My husband and I love our kois, we bought a ready made pond,rather small and has 40 gallons only, the 13 kois seems to be healthy for the last 9 months from the time we got them from Bioreserch, and Koi Village and now they have grown. Can we maintain such adorable koi in small […]

Remind us how long you have been cycling with fish? You mention four guppies and a cory… is that what you have left now? Did you allow the ammonia/nitrites to get too high at some point that caused the fish deaths or do you know if there was some other issue that caused […]
since i have 2 aqua clear filters, what should i look for in the polishing pads? does it have a specific name? the lady who had the tank before me had it for years and the fish were fine until some kid dumped garden earth in the tank (it used to sit in the entranceway […]
I forgot to mention, these are the head-sized rocks.more difficult to pick up inconspicuously. And they have beautiful rounded/oval shapes and colors. I have a weakness for rocks sculpted into perfect shapes by water. But I also have a big yard and spend hours picking up 100s of pounds of rocks for free […]
Just drop your keys into the garden area and come up with a few rocks along with your keys. Rocks are really, really cheap at a landscape/garden supply place…. but nothing’s cheaper than free. Just make sure you rinse them well and then boil them, no matter where you […]
Here in NJ and I’ve definitely seen this in CA landscapers use rounded “river” rocks as mulch or groundcover. Often these are pebble-size and you may prefer rocks anywhere from fist to head-sized. But I HAVE seen very large “river” rocks used as well.every time I walk into my local Barnes and Noble […]
When you say “the local places”, are you checking local gardening centers and landscape companies? They should certainly carry everything from pea gravel on up as far as rounder rocks are concerned. If you are talking about local fish stores, they are probably carrying what their customers… maybe cichlid keepers… want and/or need. […]
