I boil a pound of peas for my Koi. Then take a handfull pop the shell off and feed to my Harps & Peacocks. They love them but may not need them.

No substrate. You dont need & it's hard to clean.

Think about this no rocks in the pond if you do you can take them out. If you don't put a bottom drain in you will be sorry and it will be to late.

Someing to think about. My pond is round 21'x23'x8'. Very hard to get a fish out. I would like 10' x 25'x 6' (4' below ground 2'above better to hand feed) Also I was told to get about 10 nice koi. I should have now I have 75 koi more the 10 are nice. I can care for them I have the time...

I would cool the tank down . If it is heated remove the heat float a bag of ice. Acclimate them slowy not just temp add pond water to the bucket. I just added 5 koi to my pond the pond was 10deg cooler. Your pond is to small 1000 for more then 2or 3koi.

I would put air driven sponge filters in your tanks. And use a 100 Gal rubbermade tub or something biger then a 5 gal and put the seeded sponge filters in. What ever you do don't forget the heat & take you time.

Welcome from another old guy.

I have a 130 watt UV 2 65 watt lamps. 1 65 watt cost more then 1 120watt. Check the replacement price I did not.

Before you buy a 500 liter pond. Think about it, if you are like the rest of us soon you will want a larger pond. If you get a 500 liter tub you can use it for a QT/Hosp. I would think the same way about a filter buy one on sale in the fall. You have the bio get the water to pass throw...

Outside shubunkin comet that type. In side Ranchu.

Koi grow pretty large. How about a comet or a shubunkin?

Yes I do every day.

Filters on feeding blocks in the trash. IMO

Timer for the plants. Water change the day before you go. Feed very little before you go or not at all. I will never let anybody feed my fish. They will over feed them I know. I HAVE DONE THIS FOR UP TO 2 WEEK'S. Don't over feed when when you return.

I agree stress is a killer in the long run. I have a 20Gal high up in my garage. I fill a 5 Gal bucket get the water parameters the same & pump it in. A low GPH & I pump it on the glass

Pump the poop out with with the 1/2 half water change. Not the fish.

Add barley straw to the filter. It comes in a bag,concentrat or pellets. I use a UV on my large pond and a bag of barley straw on my small pond. Most pond supply shops or online have it. PS It's natural. But it's the miss use of chemicals that's harmfull. PSS It may take a few weeks to work...

clear up what

I had fancy goldfish for 20 years. I would forget the cycle take the water & everything out off the 55. Fill it declor or what ever you need to make your water safe temp and so on. Put him in keep the tank bare. Put the old filter with bio on the new tank. Keep making water changes. when...

I think it may work. Some small Harps & Peacocks not Vic's maybe a yellow lab or 2. Being black and frist in is a advantange he won't look like the rest.

I have keept fish for 40 years. People ask for advice & then tell me a better way. Then tell me they lost a fish no you kill fish. I agree with Sliderfish it takes work. I have 75 koi in my 18,600 gal pond 30" to 10" must about 22" talk about fish poop & water changs & filters. And a 180gal...
