I have inherited an old raised garden pond - concrete built that is about 6000 gallons in total with approx 45 / 50 fish or varying descriptions.
I wouldn't like any harm to come to the fish but my older age, being away for long periods and two leaks from the pond have led me to the conclusion that I should try to get the fish removed with a view to filling in the pond.
Most people I have spoken to reply with 'I'd like them but they might be diseased'. There is no sign of disease that I can see and the fish appear healthy - I've lost 2 only, over the last 3 winters for example.
Do any forum members know the best way to do this job? I live in Lincolnshire (UK) and I'm getting a bit desperate to be honest.
Thank you all - Anthony
