New fish
Drove up the a27 to the garden centre yesterday and found some new fish.
2 x silver koi (1 about 2-4 inch and 1 about 2-3)
2 x goldeb rud...never had thesde before..about 2-3inch
and 2 x shebunkins... 2-3 inch...
The shebunkins are always my favourite.
bought a new filtering system for the filter. seems to be working well although the pond is a bit mucky. it really needs a uv filter but this woudl need to be wired into the existing pond pump. the guy at the garden centre has reccomended a pond doxctore bloke so woill prob get him in.
got hold of a catalogue with various water fall systems and really fancy something quite dramatic.

pond life
the lily is staring to spring into action with 2/3 leaves starting to show their leaves. I had previously separated that annoying basket of grasses which kept falling over and that seems to be settle down. Down the dark end the grasses are all well entrenched.
Mum also gave me some frog spawn and this is starting to turn into tadpoles. Really teeny little ones. A few months ago there was a forg in the back garden. I like to think this was the home grown boy form last eyar. Don’t understand why there I no frog spawn in the pond though..
New Season April 9 2007
Welcome ot the new pond season and plenty of aciton in the pond!
Fish did well during the winter with very few losses.
This is how they roll up at the start of the season.
1 x white comet with red spots – 5-6 in
1 x shebunkin – 5-6inch
1 x red and black goldfish – 5-6 in
2 x blue orfe 8-9 inch
1 bendy tail orfe – 8in
1 orfe – 9-10 inch
I large ghost koi – 12 13 inche and 2-3 round the girth
2 x orfes - fairly sure the smaller of the two is a pond born
1 x goldfish – about 3-4 inch
1 x black shebunbkin
so that's 12 then
