Default How late is too late?

Yes, I have all functioning (not that great) it looks like the Potomac
River, I have to enlarge (too many fish). Plants are just short of being
demolished by the fish, most are floating now. My GF are just as aggressive
as my Koi. I am on well water but I still use pond care stress coat because
I was still concerned with what would be in the water. Fish look better
since using it. Joann

If you already have the fish, I can see nothing wrong with transporting

them
from one "pool" to the other at almost any time. I think a concern would

be
that your biological filter would not be functioning to break down the
ammonia and you would have not plants to take it in either. But if you
already have established pools then you have what you need for the fish.

I
am assuming you know either let the water in the new pond set long enough
for the chemicals that come in your tap water to evaporate or to use
something such as pond care stress coat to remove them... I would use that
in any case since the fish will be stressed when you move them.

Autumn is the ideal time to put in a new pond. Only thing
is do Not introduce fish - I waited until the following
spring to do that.

Good Luck!
