Pics of my pond

[PoetPonder]

Please excuse my water clarity, having a bloom at the moment, just redid the pond about 2 weeks ago. But, here are some of my fish!

Some of my fish: The larger ones range from 8-14" the smaller ones are about 3-4"

I'll get some more pics that are better than these soon.

I'm drooling at your lovely fish. Those are some that I want w/ the long flowing tails and the colors are so bright and nicely patterned :lol:

Very nice, i would like some of those too, especially the type of fish you actually see once in a while lol Love the long fins and colors, very nice.

Thanks so much! I love my babies. I got them all about 7 yrs ago...they were tiny little 1.5-2" fishes (the larger ones). They've survived hurricanes (Katrina was a nightmare and they had no pump for 3wks) They've matured beautifully. I'm very very happy with them =) I got a few of the little guys this year. Hopefully they'll use their big friends as inspiration lol.

I just realized I haven't said much about my pond. It's completely above ground - 10ft long x 4ft wide, and the water sits about 30" deep. I built a doc-style bio filter. I have 2 submersible pumps and one of those little koolscapes skimmers (skimmer ok, not sure how much I like it yet). My pond, initially was much smaller, but I just rebuilt it about 2 weeks ago. Horrible algae and bac. bloom at the moment, but the filter is catching up nicely. I just have no patience (or so I'm told) lol.

Happy to hear it is working for you. Patience is key...

I love that long finned yellow face red and white. I'm assuming all Goldfish but the 14" had me wondering. (KOI?) That's some BIG pretty babies if all goldfish!

Nope, no Koi at all F4C, all goldies and thank you for the compliment. Yeah, I didn't realize just how big they were until I redid the pond. Little Monstergoldies but I do think they are beautiful. And that one is my fav. He's just a longfin, the other is a fantail. They have very similar markings, though.

Very nice, hope my lil goldies are as pretty some day when they grow up and decide to show themselves.............

You have been a good fish keeper.
