Hi, and welcome. Lovely fish. Never thought I'd see the day when I had 3 ponds but I do.... :) Koi, wakin and guppies in mine. The guppies have to come out in winter of course.

Welcome to the forum.....I agree with Jackie not much room unless of course you want to do a moat :) They are very nice, and your fish are lovely.

Yes Dear
I have worked too much this summer with my dads house and my job. My water colour is not good but I did take a few pics in Aug. I will post them later.
As for Pondlady, I thought my backyard was all water. WOW. Thanks for the Pics

Do they all connected together?

:umno: No they don't connect, Each is seperate, that way if one pond has a problem it stays in that pond.

:lol: Hell ya I have 1/2 acre to dig up ifen I want to, problem is I am nigh on 55 so these three are enough to keep up with. I am constantly making changes here and there. I was bitten by the pond bug 16 years ago. Love the Long fins the most. This is sunrise she is a long fin shank, and snowball both are 25+ inches long. :bow:

:yesyes: Dh got me a pond vac, WOW so easy to demuck the bottom now. Sometimes wonder how I got along without it. Had to remove some shelves [darn crtiiers] about done me in. critters cant catch fish if they are treading water. :phfft: see how they like having no perch.

I use a shop vac which works good for me. Maybe because I am used to it. Tried a couple of pond vacs but could never get enough water pressure to do anything but return the water to the pond, would not lift even 3 inches.

I have less need to vac now that I put in a retro bottom drain, does a lot of the work for me.
