My plans are as follows (someone correct me if I am going to do harm!)

- Place a decent size bucket in pond, fill with pond water;
- Move my 10 goldfish to bucket, leave bucket in pond;
- Remove half of pond water (it's a small pond, approx.: 750 gallons);
- Shop vac, clean, etc, etc;
- Fill pond up;
- Leave for a couple of days;
- Transfer fish back to pond;

My pond was put in last July, so this is it's first spring. Of course, up
here (Toronto), spring isn't quite here, so none of this will happen until
at least end of April, once the water temp is constantly above 50 degrees.

(Warm one yesterday, the ice completely melted, and the fish were swimming
around at the surface looking for food handouts!)

draining and cleaning can be very hard on your fish unless you can
transfer all fish and most of the old water to another container and
back into the pond
can you get ahold of a shop vac?

I have a shop vac, but am afraid to shop vac my fish up. I only have 2
and i pond is small. I will have to brave it soon as i can't catch
these fish!
