Im fed up with my pond, I have spend a lot of money tying to get the water clear, got a uv lamp in the pump. The only light that worked was the one that was in the pump when I first bought it.The water is green, the fish seem not to mind but I do.

i might be intrested in buying the fish would need to have a look what sort of money you lookin for be ashame to let them go can easly sort the green water problem out then you be able to see the fish and enjoy them let use know iam about to stock my pond up with more koi in next cpl weeks

cheers

I killed mine, accidentally put a few pellets of weed killer in the pond (I assume!) Had him for years from a tiny fish to about 7 inches long.

Found the pond goes green anyway if you have plants in it. The fish seem to like this.

I will see the guy for you, will let you tomorrow.

our the fish still up for sale or is anyone else got any koi carp there lookin at selling cheers

will go and see the guy for you now?

I never heard anymore from about this enquiry so i gave it up and went my own way ... but
Carr Farm has some nice koi going now for the new season which is worth checking out.
They ordered me a lovely six inch female shusui which is now enjoying my setup . Although i have noticed a bloody heron eyeing up my fishie friends now for a couple of days.

Green water can be sorted out with a uv lamp attached to your filter, but dont forget that the bulb needs changing at least every four months or so especially if you like see your koi swim about and dont set your pump at hyper speed,the more time the water is spent in the filter box running over the uv and killing the green water organisims the better your pond will look.

HI razzi good to hear you got your pond set up i find the best place for koi is barnston aquatics and garden centre realy nice koi good price and very helpfull guy who runs it whats your pond set up .

Hi Crazy.

I'ts only a small pond as we have a titchy garden but 5ft by 5ft by 3ft above ground with a drop in boxweld liner runing off a hozelock uv filter & pump running to a nigata cascade. Its been up and running for a month now and has one four inch shusui (love em)a yamabuki ogon one tancho a nice showa and a few large goldies we rescued. We've been visited by the dreaded herons lately, but lost no fish, although it terrifed the dog

Whats your set up

Herons should be muzzled.

indeed they should. caught it sitting on the fence eyeing up the pond but it flew off . Then i was describing it to my next door neighbour who had never seen one .. i said they're lovely light grey and white with a long beak and a bit of yellow on it .. ooh like that one there and she pointed to the buggering heron who was sitting on the roof looking at us. cheeky beggar . got a good photo of it tho on my phone
