Thanks for replies, the old liner does have quite a bit of gravel and

etc. so maybe I'll have to take the whole thing out and wash it over.
There
is something in the pond that looks like a pink/reddish leech it kind of
squashes very small then stretches to swim ...a leech or, something
else???

Hi Will, I have no idea, but you might want to put this under a different
subject line, so someone who might know doesn't miss it. ) ~ jan

There are 650 different varieties of leeches in the world and many are
simply fish food. Some will try to eat you, but mostly live on dead
things and you can easily pick them off if they attach to you. I
wouldn't worry about them.

Thanks Hal, I was a little concerned they may harm the fish but from what
you say they are OK I transferred a few to the beastie bath!

Cheers, Will
