New Tropical Pond

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Look great! When taking pics of fish in the water hold a pair of polarized lenses over the camera lens.
 
WOW . . .
 
Alright I just read through 76 pages of that WOW!!!
Great Job!!! It looks amazing!!! I envy you greatly!
Who else gets to swim with their fish?
 
My smaller Temensis was getting beat up in the other pond so I decided to make the move and put him in the pool. We'll see how long it takes him to clean out all of the fish. The filter has pretty many hiding places for the small fry to continue growing so they should be alright. He does look pretty cool gliding around in the 23,000 pool.
 
So are you going to just keep all of those dovii or eentually sell or trade them?
 
I'm thinking about starting a business down here building natural ponds. The two guys that built mine are pretty trust worthy and we now have two under our belts. I have aquatics plants coming out of my ears. Every week I have to throw away about 20% because it reproduces so fast. And to answer your question about the Dovi's, yes I think I'll start selling them with the different projects I do. They to are reproducing like crazy, though most of the fry get eaten. I enjoy my projects so much that I though it might be an interesting adventure making natural ponds and spreading the beauty. I'm not talking about your typical commercial koi ponds. I'm thinking about ponds with close to native fish, animals, plants, etc.
 
Sounds like a good plan. You have the right location for it and it sounds like there is not much competition in the area.

Do you need to add any soil amendments down there?

Aquatics make awesome compost....
