Just want to share a pic of my koi

[captk]

They are nothing special but some have been with me for years and my wife picked some babies last year because she think they were cute. They are not quite babies any more. :)

:smile: Great shot. Now of course we'd like to see their home. and a few more of them.

[captk]

Here is where they live. :)

[Jackie Ramo]

What no cute little bears????:D

J/K nice home, how many gallons?

[Busy B]

Some babies?? Looks like your wife had fun!!

capk,
I hate to disagree with someone as learned as you, but I see something special in each one of them. They all have a home where they are loved, seems pretty special to me and my mottly crew...

[Terri]

Wonderful shot captk. Nice pond... more details please :grin:

[Dewi]

Doesn't look that humble to me,nice fish, good shot too. My pics pale in comparison. :(

[captk]

Thank you everybody for your kind words. :D Heck, they are special to us but I know that they are not show quality and they are just my pets so I wasn't going to make any bold claims. ;)

The pond is about 7ft x 17ft with the deepest part being 3ft. But it is not true rectangluar, more a fat kidney so I don't know exactly how many gallons. I should have read the water meter when I first filled it but I was too excited to remember. :lol: Well, it is humble compared with some of you who has 10,000+ gal ponds. This is a puddle. :D

Looks good to me CaptK! My poor kids are cramped in 850 gallons so your place would be a dream :D

Some day, I'll win the lottery and build a nice big OUTDOOR pond with a greenhouse over it so my kids can enjoy the sun.

But until then..... water changes, water changes, and more water changes :smile:

Take care of your back, mudsow. Don't want to hurt it unnecessarily. :)

BTW, this is pond mkII. We bulldoze the old one which is about 1/4 size of this one so I know how you feel. We didn't have that many fish then. My biggest problem is what to do when they all grow up? Pond mkIII?! :-P

[Busy B]

Sounds like a new show for the Discovery channel or HGTV :grin:

[captk]

Yeah, Koi Pond Blitz! Where a team of pond experts come and rip your old pond up and give you a new 10,000 gal pond with landscape surrounds. Dream on! :D

[Jackie Ramo]

Ok so we skip the landscaping... :lol:

[marla]

recently, while watching alot of the lanscaper challange type shows, we've seen nummerous ones that do ponds. But I want in on the total remake and a 10,000 gal and landscaping, where do I sign up :D

[pondlover]

Enter me into that contest!!!! ;-)
