tanithvosloo Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We are thinking of getting some ducks and although we have a 15 x 11 ft pond it has sturgeon in it, will this cause a problem, either for the fish or the ducks. thanks ps we hav been offered 2 indian runners and 4 kharki cambells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We are thinking of getting some ducks and although we have a 15 x 11 ft pond it has sturgeon in it, will this cause a problem, either for the fish or the ducks. thanks ps we hav been offered 2 indian runners and 4 kharki cambells I dont know where you live but fish and ducks probably not a good idea, particularly if you value your fish. We have a large pond/lake with running water reeds etc but our ducks polluted the pond and the fish did disappear(we at the time had 7 ducks all together and tons of mallards) but the fish we put in did die. Ducks do eat frogs etc so am sure they would love a small fish to eat. I was thinking about restocking fish into the pond as we dont keep domestic ducks now. The mallards just tend to briefly visit,so less risk pollution etc Sturgeon ??big fish I know nothing about) I am sure some big fish ie pike defiintely would take a duckling etc but I dont know anything about big fish?? or Sturgeon. Your pond sounds an ideal size but it will need cleaning defiintely with ducks , you could keep them away from your pond but provide a smaller water area? indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have to agree with Indie I'm afraid. Ducks are just so messy and your fish would suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
