fish protection
I have a pond that consist of three basins. Water is pumped to the top
pool and then comes down to the lower pools through sluices. I finally got the pond operating and the leaks minimized, when my wife decided we needed fish. We placed the fish in the middle pool, when the pond is operation the fish get caught in the current and carried to the lower pools. The sluices are about 12" long, the width of a 2X8. The water is between 1" and 2" deep depending whether it is from the upper pool or the middle pool. How can I contain the fish in the middle pool? Every thing I have thought of either does not work or creates a dam, upsetting the dynamics of the pool. |

You can get plastic netting or screening from a hardware store, the kind used to keep leaves out of roof gutters. Maybe a strawberry basket? -S |
how can you be the real reel mckoi when I am the real Reel Mckoi? I just don't get it......how about posting your birth certificate, and I'll post mine..........and we'll see who is the Real Reel Mckoi. Personally I would use Piranhas.........they don;t spash as much water out of the kiddie pools, like them big old sharks do. then again, the more mcKois the better.......

Every thing I have thought of either does not work or creates a dam, upsetting the dynamics of the pool. I have a smaller but smaller setup of whiskey barrels connected by spillways. I wanted to keep the white clouds away from the larger fish so they could eat more easily and maybe breed. I cut up a plant basket to get a fine grate that I put at the start of the spillway below the white clouds. Water pressure keeps the grate in place. It does catch fine leaves and detritus, but I just flip it 180 degrees when I'm out feeding the fish and it self-cleans. The more surface area your grate has, the better, and the ideal one would be more like a half-basket so you don't have to clean it very often. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |

I had a similar problem with small fish being swepted into my pond skimmer then being exhausted by fighting the current. I rescued one but one little one died. I took some plastic fruit tree netting (it is cheap and has a mesh of about 1/2 inch) and made a effective screen with a bit of green plastic tubing, to make a frame and hot glue to stick it together - been working for 2 years now. The mesh being that size does not effect the flow or clog up too fast. Cheers. PS: being as this _is_ a pond group I guess it is not _too_ inappropriate that we have a lot of "Trolling" going on ;-) |
