    Like I said before Dusty tie the mussel with some garden wire or string and dangle it just below the surface and they all come up great to watch close up.

    Besides the ones that died I have only got rid of the deformed ones so will keep the rest and watch them develop.

    Some are punny so may not make it so will let nature take its course.

    Especially Salt, and more especially if its being delivered by Yodel!

    3 hours on the phone to them today trying to sort it out. They couldn't find the address apparently, even though they deliver to it twice a week on average!

    There is someone.

    Only, I don't know who they are or where they live, you'll have to find that bit out yourself lol.

    Workmate from Isle of Wight telling me the other day about his mate there who's really into Koi.




    Mind you, it would be funny if that person turned out to be you!

    I think you are fine Dusty as it is your first season,we are all learning from each other,no one knows everything about koi but we can help one another to help keep this hobby going and for us to enjoy it.
