Is it possible to run the water from the kiddie pool through your filter?
That will extend the time you can keep them in the temp. quarters (with the
estabished filter). I would also add aeration and a NET! They *will* jump.
Try to find some way to run your filter on the temp pond; it's the easiest
way. Otherwise, you're in for a world of hurt trying to keep the ammonia and
nitrItes in check.

Good luck, and work as fast as you can.

Due to the heavy rains and the flooding we got from tropical

..........ugh...what a bummer.......I bought 10 foot kiddie pool to
put the fish in ....... I think it's about 250 gal............ I have
8 18" koi and 6 small 5" koi does any one know how long I can keep
them in there as it will probably take the better part of two days
before I get the pond ready for them again

thank in advance

I had a set up trickle tower in the pond so that when I
moved the fish to the kiddie pool (1000 gallons) I also
moved the trickle tower over. It worked quite well in the
kiddie pool for 2 months.

Thanks Bonnie I may try that

look like the rains have started again from the deprection of Mexico I
am in Gulf Shores AL......... here will have to wait till the water
table goes down another 12" before I can drain
