New pond residents question...
Hey gang.. we're getting closer to moving into the new house... the land has
been mostly prepared this week. Anyway, the plans are for a small retention pond in front because of rain water flow through the property. It has a channel that connects to a spring on property, in the middle of a bamboo grove. (We cut out 1/4 acre of bamboo out yesterday.. and are pretty sore after that!) It then runs down into two other springs. Between the 1st and last 2nd springs, we'll have a pond dug out. Since we'll have fresh spring water flow through, the pond shouldn't get stagnant at all. The other day while I was there, I saw some of the local residents already living there. I saw crayfish/crawdads, a large box turtle, and a lizard/newt kinda thing. It was small, a few inches long, and looks pretty slimy. I know it's NOT a chameleon, but was wondering if anyone here might know what they were (saw a few of them over the course of a few days). Just curious... also anyone know if Koi would survive this type of pond?? Anything I should consider on the pond development? Lotsa natural rock there for deco, too! Ponder's Heaven!! This is in Western NC, near Waynesville, BTW... Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |
