What a great posting. It was very helpful, thank you,

I had a Heron pick off 4 of my somewhat large Koi. I never actually saw it, but I figured it had to be a Heron. So I bought a motion detecting sprinkler and it worked immediately. The next day I found a bunch of knocked over plants in the pond (presumably the Heron landed and than had a panicky launch as it got sprayed). The neighbors said they saw the Heron perch in a nearby tree later in the morning and stare at the pond for over an hour, but in the weeks since he hasn't gotten any more fish, so I would recommend a motion sprinkler (like Orbit) very much.

Would also recommend a decoy heron, we bought one and the heron that was bothering us never came back into the garden. We’ve seen it lingering nearby once or twice (on neighbours roofs) but it has never been near the pond! Has worked a treat for us

Very informative video....I found the air is a very important part of my success with koi...also the large filtration with bottom drain. I lack a little with the disease I would have to call an expert. I used to have a heroin problem till I rebuilt it 4+ feet deep with no shelves.

luckily i have put air stones in just in time and i also trickle fill with hose once a week and let the pond overflow overnight reducing the blanket weed and renewing some of the water.

Male comet chasing female comet, nice. Breeding time. You should get them as a pair in a container with either hornwort or hyacinth as egg catcher holder

Air pump, not just air stone, there are a few cases of new fish keepers just putting a diffuser in the water with no pump at the other end.

Could have been carp pox. This usually has to do with the cold temps and will disappear when the temps raise.

Useful video thanks. We tried fish in the pond when i was a kid but they all died, some sort of fungus?. Trying again now as an adult for my own kids, solar powered filter (we cant get an elec source out there) and pump which produces fountain, medifin and an anti chlorine additive if we need to top up the water. a few oxygenating plants. I hope thats enough. I read to stop feeding in the winter as the fish (we have 2) semi-hibernate nearer the bottom of the pond. Plus chicken wire cover to try and deter predators. I have an algae control additive but not used that yet.

Harry Mellor no, but you need a filter if you want some unless you undergo water changes often. Goldfish are dirty and grow big and often can’t be housed with any other fish but your pond sounds big enough to get a few. Just keep in mind that a filter needs to be able to cycle 2x as much as your pond.

How to treat the parasites My pond get freeze on top I open hole so air can get in .in winter the fish can get it grow any parasite the kill the goldfish?

Excellent, thank you, never quite understood the nitrate and algae thing.

When a pond reaches 50, 000 gallons with a maximum depth of six feet, is oxygenation and waste products a concern? (I think not; my fish have lived through one winter with ice covering the water for about five months. I live in Montana) It has 12 goldfish about six inches long. No other fish, just lots of bugs, salamanders and frogs.

Well explained! Just the essentials, no frills. Thank you! Must be difficult to look at the parasites!

I have seen a heron although I do have a heron net and a I bought a heron decoy to keep him away . I have done an ammonia test and that seems to be fine .

My former eco-paradise natural pond/lake quickly died after a 3G shredded tyre sports field was installed 130 feet from and 30 feet higher than our water level. On the Planning Application the shredded tyre pitch was declared "not in proximity to any watercourse". Do you think chemicals from the 300 tons of perishing tyre grains got into our watercourse? Do you think the pond/lake will ever recover being so near to a shredded tyre long-term storage site used as a sports field? Tyres are made from so many toxic compounds which probably naturally release as the tyre grains perish, could this damage water-tables and ponds? All happened 4 years ago. My MP the EA and Ashford Council have refused to come and see the devastation. We lost 90% of all creatures and wildlife here. Are shredded tyres very toxic?

Pond or aquarium? 1. Fish die if it's a new set up. 2. Or if you don't change old water and pick up dead leaves and roots from plants. 3. And or if you don't clean but keep the same filter sponge media. 4. Change old water once every 3 to 6 months, same for filter sponge media.

Blue Phoenix Tail Lionhead you advice is not great, sponges can be cleaned with the same pond water on a bucket because they hold beneficial bacteria, whatever changes can be made every week, or every other week, at least 10% water change, NOT MONTHS. Sponges can be used all year long and change them when you turn your filter back on in the spring. Imo

Pond pumps should be left on over night as at night the plants make more carbon dioxide

If there was algae due to lots of sun, a few cloudy days can kill a bunch of it. All the dead plant material starts decomposing and turns the water bad. You want to hurry and change out some of the water. This can kill the fish in a day or two. By the time the fish are gasping, maybe hours.

Those waterlilies do not look to good. Have you been using an algeacide? That is what it looks like to me.

So... Let the algae grow but have plecos in the water so they can eat half of it and balance can exist. Have plants that won't be harmed by the plecos if they have algae to eat. Add some angelfish in the pond so it can protect your goldfish from those evil little bugs that will attack them. Have gravel and maybe some sand in the pond. Have some big rocks too so the fish can hide from birds. Don't overfeed your fish! The plecos don't need special food for them unless there is no algae. One of my plecos went mad when it saw the new pleco i've added going to that special spot with more algae under the gravel XD I think those rules i've added should be important for the pond to succeed with living fish in it.
