hello Sissy, I like the pond Hunter but was a little too long; please don't take offense. Will you sum it up a little. I have 3 fish 5 or 6 years old moving to a pond 7 times the volume they are in now. I will get a few more fish, should I quarantine the new fish in the old pond and move the old fish to the new pond, vice versa, or is it better to add them all to the new pond at the same time and quarantine the new fish somewhere else? I trust my source for fish, but I'd hate to get my old ones sick due to his water quality being better than mine. thanks.

Can't get the video to play. Could you please post the link @sissy ?

I have always liked Mike's podcasts. He has never been one to avoid the controversial. My favorite was when he had Ed Bealieu on from Aquascape discussing the rock and gravel method of pond construction.

Have you tried viewing it directly on Youtube? There's a Youtube icon on the bottom right when you mouse over the frame that will take you directly there.

He mentions quarantine right around 7:09 @sissy and then refers to another podcast which covers quarantine in depth.

I like Mike Gannon - he's good at his work!

Yeh but a lot of people never really pay attention to the quarantine method ,they are to quick to add a new fish .I had problems with his podcasts also as they freeze up .I just thought it was my puter ,.I missed a piece of it because it also jumps ahead every time it would freeze up and I would miss part of it .I want to listen to it in whole but every time it jumps ahead after freeze up .

I will try that I hate when it jumps forward because I miss pieces of it .Not sure why it does it .Not sure if it is the windows 10 update or his podcast doing it .Never even heard of a podcast until they started them on you tube .My phone is for emergencies and nothing more .
