[Biogeny]

its a very interesting pond, fish looking good-some unusual angles to view them from.

[Cleveland]

It's nice to see your fish finally .

And It's actually a step up from my photography.

[vince]

Hiya Vince,

Please put a guard on the skimmer, they can really make a mess of themselves when they get stuck in there..

Airstone in the skimmer or just in front that you can turn on at feed time is always a good idea..

Your photo skills are on a par with mine...:D

Vince, your pond or tank looks great. How big is that window? The fish look superb. What camera were you using a homemade biscuit tin with a hole in it. The internal stereo within the pond as seen in picture 5 is different. What do the fish like to listen to?:D

Wow Vince, I'm not sure if it's an optical illusion from the glass, but your fish look absolutely mahoosive! How big is the nice Chag?

Great idea about the airstone in the skimmer! I've got a complicated timer program to make it turn off for an hour after feeding but I have to try and work out what times the Profi feeder is going to feed at to do this and I sometimes get it wrong. They have to chase their dinner across the pond before it disappears!

[vince]

thanks dave i was thinking the same thing myself about the skimmer. the air stone idea is going to be done today. thanks mate. lara the chag is 74cm at the moment its 4 years old, it was 20 cm when i got it. i think as i feed all year round is the only reason the koi get so big. down side so do the bellies, oh same as mine lol the stereo is on the outside of the pond lol think i should put a pick of the inside of the pond house on lol

[andikoi]

some lovely koi vince,is that a doitsu purachina in pic 1,love doitsus,and I haven't got a chag in my pond yet but do have a big common and large lemon ogon that hand feeds in summer.andi

[Feline]

That fish appears to have its own desk :cool:

[JohnKitching]

Picture 5 clearly shows a stereo in the pond, that can't be safe can it? ;)

[viv davis]

Lovely pictures Vince. I MUST get my daughter to post some of my koi. Nothing special, but I love them!!!! x :)

[vince]

i will dig out one the makes the koi look like their in mid air in the centre of the living area lol . thing was as cows make more milk when they have music on i did try and see if my koi would grow faster having their own stereo lol .

[JohnKitching]

[peter57]

Vince, that must be the best "shed" ever :)

[vince]

sorry just seen that post peter . my son got some funny looks at school when he said " i fell asleep in dads shed last night". and must say the teacher did take me to one side to ask if he was making it up. just as well i have photo`s on my phone or i would of been answering a lot of questions to the kind men in blue.

[koicrazysteve]

Love the look of your set up Vince,

A window and indoor pond in the future is a must, your pics made me realise that!

Regards
Steve

[vince]

i must say it has turned the hobby into a all year round thing since i built it steve. it was strange feeding the koi in winter looking outside at the snow. if i turn the oil filled rad on in the filterhouse it can keep the pond at 26 in winter on 500w. but just using the heater in the summer house the pond does not go lower than 18 so i leave it turned off.
