Pond Chat / Baby fish catcher?

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:56:22 PM »

Hi guys, remember me? I know it's been a long time! Say do any of you know anything about the traps to catch the little buggers? I don't know how many are in there but my pond is way to big to try and net them? My big guys ate most of the eggs and I rescued all that were laid in the water floaters to a tempareary pond. Any thoughts on this would be more than welcome!!! Thanks, Debbie

Koi Corner / Minnow traps

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:45:50 PM »

Hi everyone. Say do any of you know anything about the minnow traps you can put in your pond, or know where one could be found? I have a bunch of them (Babies that is) and I think trying to net them would be more than difficult! Thanks so much!  Debbie

Pond Chat / Re: Koi in the skimmer

« on: April 21, 2011, 04:49:31 PM »

My skimmer came with a net that safly catches anything that goes in includding my koi. I have found baby ones in there un harmed as the netting is very small mesh. But then there is a removeable back board that hold a filter matt to  to help keep gunk from getting to the pump.

Aquatic and Terrestrial Plant Exchange / Re: Maria and Vickie and anybody else I promised lotus to....

« on: April 21, 2011, 04:00:11 PM »

The only 2 Lotus I had I had gotten from you! It was beautiful and it jumpped the pot in the 2nd season, so in the beginning of it's 3rd yr. I pulled it up out of the bottom of the pond and none of it lived? So any thing you have extra of I would love! Since I have no way to winter them other than in the pond I guess I'll just keep them there when I ever get one again. I had a large pink one? and a lovely little red Momo Botan but I would settle for what ever I can get, not picky. BTW how the heck have you been? It's been a long time!

Hi Tink! good to hear from ya. Off? Well only from on line! We just stay pretty much on the go when possiable. Looks like my plumbeagos are going to make it yet another year? Small bulbs startting to poke up out of the frozen ground. Yipeeeeee! I cleaned out my skimmer today. Holy Cow what a mess I have really done a good job of ignoring it this year. I could hardly lift the net out it was so full of gunk and slim. Sham on me.

Thanks all for the warm welcome back! JW I can't belive you live in Arlington!! That's where I moved from after about 17 years!!!!!! Glad to meet ya!
Jason has already been a great help! He doesen't seem to mind helping fix up all the things that are getting run down. I do love him a bunch!!!!! It's been a long cold winter and spring is trying hard to bust lose. Jason bought me a snowmobill and has been patient teaching me how to ride it and not get stuck!  We did a lot of hicking and will again as weather warms up. Right now I'm off work with a knee boo boo( L&I) and he has board himself out of his mind keeping me home and down. Tough order for the both of us as we go a lot. I'm sure he will jump right in and help with the pond? I think he just loves to help me??? Any hows That's about it for  now and I will try and get on line more. Good to see all of You!!!!!
