Very nice pick ups!
That white one w/ the black stripe looks awesome!
I would definitely be going back for more.
THat black w/ gold fins sounds awesome!
Lower the pond water so you can catch em easier.


Yeah, that's what I told them we could do Saturday since they are filling it in with dirt once all of the fish are gone.

Thanks. My wife wants me to take the 3 big 8-10 lb catfish out of the pond since they are not "pretty"! I guess I better start my Koi research since I was originally planning on my pond being native!
 
How's your blue crabs doing? It's interesting that you are putting them in the pond makes me want to building a pond for natives, goldfish/koi and crabs right now

They are doing great....they come up to the stream area for air and sit and go back in to the water. They stay mostly at the bottom in the corners hidden.

I guess the catfish and tilapia will be coming out soon. I actually like the tilapia's light blue color though but my wife just likes the Koi now. I am almost done a big 9.5x5x 3 tank in my basement so I may turn that in to the native tank.

Did I saw the wild types carps/goldfish in one of these pictures?

Probably....I don't know much about goldfish (besides feeders) or Koi but I have been researching a lot about them today, so it's possible they are. I need to find someone who knows about koi to figure out the types. I know the white one is called a Shusui. They are the only ones with the navy blue scales going down their back....as seen here: http://www.koienterprise.com/koiDet...ce=0&Sex=0&Breeder=0&KoiGroupKey=all&compare=
