Welcome!

Thank you, Lisak 1. This is an amazing forum filled with knowledgeable fish and pond enthusiasts. I am feeling so fortunate to have found it! I have just posted my 'pond lowdown' and would love your feedback whenever your time may permit.

 

[Learning to Care for Koi]

View attachment 112333Welcome to the forum!

You have a very nice pond!
Sometimes fish don't come to eat after something chased them or scared them in any way!
This year for the first time in 16yrs that I have the pond, my koi are dealing with a lot of stress over Bull frogs, if they don't come to me when I approach the pond, that's the first sign that a Bull frog is or has being around the pond.
Not much we can do about Bull frogs but do you have a cover to protect your fish from other predators?

Hello, Gemma, VERY FORTUNATELY the pond has been off the predator radar, knock on wood! We do use a net in the fall to catch the leaves from the tree beside the pond and also skim the pond before ice sets in. Or in fact, I seem to skim the pond most days for some reason or another (grass, pollen, whatever).
