Inherited pond
We are in the process of buying an older home with a pond system. There
are three basin with a total of about a 130 square feet of surface area. They appear to be about 18 to 24 inches deep. While I know they will probably take some work to make them perfect, Would there be any problem of putting a couple dozen feeder gold fish and some plants from Walmart in the ponds as we move into our part of the house and do the moving in things (probably most of the summer.)

No problem, although don't go nuts with the feeders, as they will grow big, you don't want to overload the pond with fish. |

No problem, although don't go nuts with the feeders, as they will grow big, you don't want to overload the pond with fish. Most feeder grade goldfishes come diseased or stressed from being stored in a tank with a few hundred of their siblings. So use caution if there are existing fish in this pond. Sameer |

Would there be any problem of putting a couple dozen feeder gold fish and some plants from Walmart in the ponds as we move into our part of the house and do the moving in things (probably most of the summer.) IMO, why don't you see what frogs and taddies end up in the pond? If you really would like to do fish, how about fantail goldfish, just a couple? They are slow, easy to catch and wouldn't affect the local critters as much. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |
