Koi and Waterlillies Update
Rented a trash pump (10,000 gallons @ hour) over the long weekend and it
took about 12-14 hours to pump my pond out. Out of 8 Koi I had put in as babies a year ago, 7 had made it--I was surprised because I had never seen more than 5 at a time, and never got a clear look at them. Another little Koi that I took from my aquarium and put in the pond about a month ago had gained 50% in size in that month in the big pond after no growth in the tank. Hundreds of little mud cats and some large cats were there, but as we slopped around in the mud getting the fish out, we kept stepping on what felt like a rock in the mud--my brother reached in and it was a foot long snapper turtle! K30A had warned of this and thought one might be the lily culprit--- http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/commun...geid=82441&ck= |

pickmaster wrote it was a foot long
snapper turtle! K30A had warned of this Holy turtle soup! And that's a BIG pond! I'm impressed that your brother found him in all that and glad he didn't step on the snapping end! ;-) k30a |

Koi and Waterlillies Update
It is a miracle that the critter didn't get him, because when he first tried
to pick him out of the muck, the turtle's claws scratched his hand, but he still didn't realize what it was---almost a trip to the emergency room!
