We just pulled our filter to rinse it off (it's getting really yucky due to green water), and a large bug fell off.  It seems that I remember a couple of years ago someone talking about these.  What brings them into the pond, and if I still have fish (can't see them anymore), will they harm them?  Thank you, Linda

Looks like Fun!!!

Great information - especially for the newbies!

Hello.

LOL.. With Matt being what's called a woollyback with a hint of a Lancashire accent I can appreciate your problem. Hell even I have trouble understanding what someone from Matt's part of Britland is talking about.

Bad news on the gorgeous LindaB... I don't think she'll be there next year.

If you get the chance put some pix of the McCann fish on here for me to see.

Oh gosh, it's just not going to work, Fuzz. I just spent a week and a half with our Englishman Mat Mccann and got myself reall confused up on the accent thing. Living in BubbaLand (like you do) changes the way you hear things and so I had more trouble understanding Mat than ever before. Dang nice fish the boy has though. Three or four or so will be coming home soon.

See you and Dez in Orlando. Bringing the gorgeous Linda B?

As the weather cools and the nights get colder it becomes necessary to cover the pond for the Winter. Not being able to see the koi swimming around without peering through a cut out in the end of the cover is a pain, but something that, for me anyway, has to be done.

The pond here has been covered for about a week now and much like last year it has settled at or about 60 degrees which if last year is anything to go by will hold at that temp for the rest of the winter.

If I get the chance I'll throw a pic of the cover on here tomorrow..

Hi it's good to see someone signing in here. Tell us something about yourself, especially your pondering efforts.

Farmer Mike.. Nice title.

There were a lot of koi in that pond which was one of the reasons for pulling it along with having a bit of a sort out and replacing those with potential back in it to grow on.

Looking forward to seeing you in Fl again where I can teach you how to speak proper English.

Hey Mickey..

The follow up is that Superverm works as well as it ever did. Three days after treatment following a number of of microscope slides to confirm, the Flukes were no longer there.

Hell Mickey we only have 5000 galls and still use a Seine net to get them all in one place. I honestly don't know how you would manage with the size of pond you have.

Although it might seem to be the case from posts I have done elsewhere not all the koi in our pond are from Hammock Koi Farm in Tennessee, just less than half of them come from Brady's place in North Carolina.
