Well, I have decided to get rid of the goldfish we have had for 18 years and just go with koi and a few shubunks. I bought a dozen small butterfly koi this year but with 2 seperate problems we lost all but one. Luckily we had a successful spawn this year and now have 3-4 dozen new koi! I'm going to pick thru and find the best looking ones and sell or give away the others.
I purchased a 550 gallon swimming pool today to hold the fish we will be selling.
Question 1- Can I just use treated tap water in the pool to hold the fish? I will be setting up a skippy filter and am planning on transfering some media from my other bio filter.
Question 2- How long can I keep these guys in a setup like this? I want to get rid of them but not kill them.
Still not sure how I'm going to catch them all. The pond is 10x13x3. I got some plastic fencing 10'x3' and am going to try to corral them. Any ideas appreciated-
