Some Fish Pictures I Was Able To Down Size

Nice Koi. How many Koi do you have and how many gallons of water in this pond?

 

[koiguy1969]

there is 475 gallons in this pond now but will go another 75 gallons, but after the platinum jumped i lowered the water level until i can put the caging around the walls to keep that from reoccuring this spring when they go back outside i will increase the depth of this pond to hold 800 gals. its just a wintering pond.,

 

[DrDave]

Sometimes, a jumper does it because of water quality. I would be very watchfull of your nitrate/nitrite levels.

 

[koiguy1969]

my water parameters are ideal. they are tested weekly. my ammonia and nitrate reading is always 0. ph locked at 7.4. i always test on monday, and do my 10% water changes on tuesday.

 

[DrDave]

Sounds like you have it under control.

I can see my lower pond while watching TV in my home. occasionally, I see my platinums jumping and clearing the water. It must be in their nature. When I transferred them from my upper pond, one jumped out of the container and landed on the grass. Fortunatley he was unharmed.

 

[koiguy1969]

no doubt dave, i kid you not,i swear ive seen at least a couple of my fish, do the tail walk thing, like the dolphins at seaworld but they travel sideways. when my hornwort was over grown they would swim up ontop and sun bathe.

Re:more fish pix

a few more fish pix, cant get all 35 fish to sit still for pictures. this is just the basement pond anyways. i dont know why i cant seem to take a decent picture, i am using a sanyo 8 megapixel camera

i like the second pict...it looks like its from the side of and aquarium yet stilll from above

 

[DrCase]

How long till you move them to there summer home KoiGuy?

 

[koiguy1969]

well DrCase, your guess is as good as mine... we got 6" of snow yesterday, i'm watching it snow now, and its supposed to snow tomorrow too. weve had snow on Easter, so i am so cabin crazy right now, i cant stand it. if we could even hit the 50s, at least i could work on the remodeling of the pond.
