So I happened to check craigslist right before I left work yesterday, and I see an add for free rock, open it up and see this
The ad says tearing out three ponds, giving away all sorts of rock. So I call the guy and say im responding to your craigslist ad, and he says which one? I actually have a bunch of rock im giving away, im selling koi, and a lot of my pond stuff. I tell him I need to go home and grab my trailer and I will be down in a bit. I walk into this guys backyard, and it is quite amazing, this piture is of the main ppond with the koi in it, this is a small backyard and it is completely filled with ponds. on small one with goldfish (feeders) the main one with the koi, and a small one at the end for turtles (painters, and then box turtles wandering the entire backyard) yard was fenced in, with the fence buried partway underground, the gate has a mesh thing under it so no turtles could escape. It was really amazing. He said he was selling the house, and the person buying it was using it for rental property, and needed all the ponds gone otherwise the liability insurance would cost too much. There is a little hut on the left side of the picture, it was really cool, im not sure if housed all of his filtration or or if was for his kids to play in, im assuming filtration. I loaded up the trailer with rock, and then i said so what do you have left for koi? He showed me some beautiful fish, of course I couldn't tell you thier names, but three over them were probably 15 inches long, then there were some smaller ones that were also very nicely colored. I asked him about a couple, he only wanted $30 for the big ones, $40 for one of the smaller very defined ones. I called the fiance up and said should I buy one or two? She said "do whatever you want" in that you're about to get in trouble tone. 
So I passed on the fish yesterday, but he literally has TONS more rock to remove, and I told him I would give him a call on friday, come down and get another load, and bring my fiance, and if he had any fish left, she would be a lot easier to convince if she saw them first. I hope he some something left, those were some nice fish, but either way, i will get some more rock on friday. I also want to ask him more about his setup, he was pretty busy trying to catch fish and turtles, and drain the ponds, so hopefully on friday he will have a little more time and I can talk to him about his setup. It seemes the three ponds were connected with streams, but somehow he had open on valve and closed another and actuualy had the top and bottom ponds drained, but the middle one still full with the fish in it.
