Hi! Here's my pond

[Roy L.]

Do You have this fish in America?

LEUCISCUS IDUS !!

The same fish

Very nice pond, do you use something to keep it from freezing over in the winter?

 

[Roy L.]

Thanks
I use an airpump/diffuser to keep a hole in the ice so the gasses kan get out, and so the fish don't sufficate.

And I put a crate with holes in the sides over the hole, to help keep it open.
It works fine, even when it gets down to -30 C.

It's important then that the air-stone is not placed deep, because then all the water will start to sircle and be chilled down.

You know water is heavyest when its +4 C, and stays at the bottom.

Must always snook around
Is that a common fish in the Netherlands?

 

[Loubard]

Yeah, you can buy it at every Garden center who sell pond stuff and fish. Like €10,- for 10 fish. You can also buy the normal dark form and a blue form too.

And is it common at Drammen, Norway?

Your pond is looking good btw, is it indoors?

 

[Roy L.]

There is a few lakes in the south part of Norway they've been put out, and we don't see them often in shops...
But ofcourse ponding is not a very common thing either, not like in Uk, Germany and the Netherlands..
Did You mean my little livingroom-pond on my space?
That was just a little prefabricated pond I set up very simply...
Missed seeing my fish during the wintertime
