Our pond was a raised pond and after 11 years, the walls were bowing out. It was reduce depth or have it collapse.
What more could they ask for?hey, they're moving on up in the world to a huge beautiful pond with a big pergola and a dinner bell![]()
They aren't going to be shipped. They'll be traveling one and a half hours in a 250 gallon aerated tank ( filled with out pond water ) on his truck. I guess I could have not fed them for a week, but decided 48 hours sufficient and I plan to dose the tank with liquid prime. It would certainly be a different matter if they were being shipped in oxygen filled bags.no food he should have asked that you not feed for a week prior to shipping
Please do we will all join you on their journey to their new homeI'm planning on taking some pictures , so I'll be able to share the beginning of their journey.
That was so nice of him! Glad to hear they are eating alreadyOh my heavens! He sent us a little video of them in their new qt pond with a couple of his fish. They didn't miss a beat, swimming actively and eating ! I told him how picky they are and they made a liar out of me...... eating his food- LOL !
They could have at least moped for a day or two - LOL !

Yes, I'll share the video. I have to upload it to YouTube I believe. In addition to the fry he caught we'd caught over 200 !!!!!!!!! I think the success of the floating planters made perfect fry nurseries .1.5 hour is not long enough to be problematic. they should be fine .

I truly feel blessed to have found this man. We're going to stay in touch and he's invited us up to his farm.....he gave me a big bear hug when he left@Tula - I'm glad everything went well with the transfer. What a lucky adventure for your fish!
