Sheilaz Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 ...when's that likely to be then, Martin, I was just wondering?....I'm torn between hoping it's the 31st so that I win, or very, very soon, for obvious reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Only ??? days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 ??? days to go. Hmm that means it's May the 100th, unless you've gone into 014 (for the 14th) numbering You'll have to put a picture of the koi on, sounds cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ah, but what if its a tie for first place? Do we have to share the chocolate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 It doesn't matter, how many people win! They'll get the same amount! I will just go and take a picture of the fish to show you. In the end I chose 2 ghost koi, 1 normal goldfish, 1 subamarturan, and a golden tench! They look reall pretty in the fountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Martin you are a real tease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 How big is your garden Not very big. Big enough for 3 or 4 eglus, a fountain, 2 sunloungers a table and a rabbit hutch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I like the description, Martin. No need to bother with tape measures or football pitch size comparisons, we can measure an area in Eglus! PS. As a parent, remember, it's just one for you though, Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236 OCU Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) The reason I asked how big the garden was is because Herons are the biggest predators of Pond Fish, however they do need a clear run in to land so if the garden is largeish you need to place obstacles in the way or place netting over the pond.

Martin B Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 They're so difficult to spot, they belnd in really well with the surroundings. I can't take a picture because I don't know where the camera is. I will try to look for it tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236 OCU Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 We go and get the fishes tomorrow! How are they settling in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Overnight the ghost carp jumped out of it's compartment into the one below. We have put netting over them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236 OCU Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hope you enjoy them as much as we do ours They will feed from your fingers if you feed them the floating sticks rather than flakes Just hold the sticks in the water they will soon learn. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Ihave just fed them, but they are a bit wary of us at the moment! We do have floating sticks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
236 OCU Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I find that the clearer the water the better they respond to you . You would think it would be the other way round, but they obviously feel that if they can see that you are not a predator they somehow feel safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I think it'll be fine they're just a bit edgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
