Well so far everyone survived the winter in our garage.(Maybe you remember
we purchased a home the end of September and moved in on Thanksgiving....had
to pull out our preformed pond from our rental residence and winter it
propped up in the garage......oh and hubby actually put a huge heater in the
detached garage to keep the ice down....they were so babied.)

Both frogs, all the snails and our 4 fish, which through an electrician who
was here to put in some new outlets for the house and had maintained a pond
in Florida before moving, we learned that the one fish we were sold as a
Comet, is actually a Kohaku Koi. (We were clueless, last spring was our
first pond, we didn't know a thing about the fish or anything...though they
did say the fish hopped from tank to tank.)

Questions:

1. How big, as we have a Koi will our new pond need to be.

2. When can I start feeding them again. They are acting quite hungry now
milling about at the surface when they seem me come in the garage,
especially the shubunkin who.


Hope everyone's fish and their friends faired as well as ours did.

Regards......
