    Double good news

    As some of you will know, I was struggling with poor health of fish and losing them for various reasons with no clue to the root cause which involved a drain down, deep clean and re filling of the pond. a month and a half on and I have got no issues but incredibly greedy and happy koi which are looking bigger every day and showing no signs of issues, no flicking or flashing just barging into each other to steal all the food!Water tests have been excellent too so all appears to be well going into autumn.

    The other good news is the reason I am typing this one handed, my other arm is holding my beautiful baby girl, Sierra Rose, who was born Monday the 21st of September weighing 6lb 12oz and a half at 9:41am. Both Sierra and Mum are doing great and I couldn't be prouder. Roll on spring for a trip to the koi shop where Sierra points roughly in the direction of a few big pricey koi which of course I would be a bad dad if I didn't purchase for her

    Congratulations for both your healthy scale-babies and your new nipper Double good news. Let's hope she has a really good eye for koi as I think that's the best excuse I've ever heard for buying a new one.

    "....but honey, you can't disappoint the baby" Double good news

    Nowadays, I have to use 'negotiation' to justify new pets based on hubs wanting another motorbike (cos one butt needs three bikes doesn't it), or anther shotgun (cos different clays require a variety of cartridges). Yup his excuses to add to his 'man-toy' collection are varied and imaginative. He's just lucky that I actually share his passion for bikes and clay shoots, but I'm still waiting for my pony, puppy, chickens, more kitties ... and of course one or two more koi Double good news Clearly need to bush up my negotiation skills!

    Best wishes to mum and bambino,
    Wendy Double good news

    Congratulations on the new arrival mate and I wish you a couple of nights a week with some sleep. Also pleased your other babies are now doing well in their new home.
    I know how stressful bedding in new ponds can be

    Cheers

    Unfortunately not, as anyone can view the forum as a member or not I would rather not. Its not just on here, I am not the sort to put pics on Facebook etc anyway

    The only flaw in that plan is the fact my favourite changes regularly Gaz!
