Wakin, Shubunkins and Goldfish... / Wakin Eggs

« on: April 08, 2008, 05:11:49 PM »

Hello I was wondering if someone who has Wakins( when they spawn ) if you could send me some some eggs on the plants . I am willing to pay for the eggs and nextday shipping. This is the only way I can afford to have any of them . I dont know about the succes rate of doing this but surley some will make it

Pond Construction & Filtration / Re: need help !!!!

« on: August 08, 2007, 05:26:40 PM »

Ive been using the pond liner epdm . I dont know what is causing the hole but i know animals get in it because they knock over my pots and stuff. My pond has shelfs allaway around it and is about 13 feet long including the waterfall and about 8 or 9 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Ive used carpet , sand and newspaper as the underlayment . I have also tried patching the liner and feel that a concreat is the best way to go . I live in Limestone County in Alabama Zone 7a and i dont think it will get so cold as to crack the concreat. I just need help trying to get everything togeather and since the pond is going to have to be drained and all i think im going to take the shelfs out .
