Koi
 

Just out of sheer interest, does anyone else keep Koi fish in their back garden?

Ghost Koi / carp and three 'normal' Koi....(I know nothing...they are nice fishies tho:shrug: )


*Did build the pond, waterfall and rock garden however...*

Used to - pond had to go when we got the dogs.

No Koi but can offer a home to any overstocked Fish

I have a 90' x 30' wildlife pond that I had dug about three years ago.
It has some fish in it but not from me, eggs arrive on the feet of ducks apparently!

Got a Couple of Koi, 6 Golden Orme and the normal assortment of Shubunkins, Comets etc.

I need something Heron proof!

Btw Herons also seem very partial to frogs and so do Owls as they swoop down in the dusk and grab them occasionally.
Third Gunnera has failed to come up this year, no idea what is going on they keep failing to get established, very odd!

Unlike these I took near Plas Newydd yesterday

TRIFFIDS :eek:

I thought it was Giant Rhubarb but didn't fancy that with Custard.

Gunnera Manicata...needs damp / boggy soil, sun and shade and warm winters to do well...
