Me too, I mean he is neat to watch and stuff, but I don’t want to take chances that he will get hungry and grab an unsuspecting cichlid…
I also called a local pet store and they sell them for around that price too.
I just don’t have a set up for him at all, I […]
Wow.. He sounds like an interesting critter. 10″+ though! Does say uncommon to the hobbyist and expect to pay 20-25 pounds for it, so roughly $40-50. At least you didn’t get taken on the price. Hopefully you can recoup some money in getting rid of him.
Got an interesting new clue today. this morning there was only one casualty. However it had a large amound of fungus growing on the top of its head.
Now is the fungas infection what is killing them. Or is it just what ever is making them weak has opened them […]
Hi Lorraine (and Dennis). I’d like to chime in on this thread because I’m very concerned about the rock/boulder problem that you are highlighting here. We also have rocks and boulders in our pond, but they’re a necessity for us. You see, we’re just a few houses up from […]
Well had a interesting day today. Yesterday added some salt, not enough as specified but used all I had. I also put some limestone rocks in to help the PH. Today I didn’t have time to catch one of the ailing koi to inspect it, so I put my second pump on to add a […]
This is interesting… Yesterday I lost three Koi. Two had bright red gills and one was more fless colored than the other two. One of the bright red ones did show a black scab in its belly reagon. The other two did not have any signes. I […]
Thanks Laurie for the information and it seems that you were planning a community tank - one where the fish got along, were interesting looking and were colorful. In a 28g tank you should be very selective about the fish you choose. It […]
Hi Dave. Thanks for the follow-up on your pH saga. As for your cloudy water, several seasons ago I took a jar of my cloudy water to one of the local aquarium stores that I’d bought a few things from that season and they tested the water for me to […]
Brenda and Don,
Brenda, I didn’t do anything to bring the PH down and it hasn’t dropped very much yet. When the pond was a swimming pool, I was constantly adding PH Rise. For some reason, the pool was always acid. Now I have the opposite problem. It doesn’t help that the […]
Welcome to the group Serena. It sound like you’ve really been hit by the ponding hobby. Sounds like you’ll have a VERY interesting yard when your projects all come together. I think we would all really enjoy seeing your pond and stream project as you continue your work on it. Sounds […]
