I'm a late sleeper so first thing in the morning I'm horizontal  but I have seen them in the heat kind of on the top gasping so I guess I should add some they do have more shade now that I added more lilies so I will see, but I think I have to add some air. Lawana can you post some pics I'm more visual . Anyways here is a pic of my first bloom of this season I was so excited

I cleand my litle pond from the front of my house on sunday (because my nice and nephew were coming) and whn the kids try to go feed them, they could find the fish(jst 2 goldies were leaving there is a very small pond) I guess they decide to jump out and kill theirself, sad think my oldes nephew(10yrmold) was tge one who found them today, because of the smell, till this point I thought a cat or a bird took them! Bad bad

Thanks! Those were from last year and believe me they dont last! In my area I dont see no ponds like that so I dont have that kind of luck of getting them for free. As I say they are kind of $$ . I will buy some and put them on a water container and see what happen. But I still hope someone in here will share.

Pond Chat / Hyacinth

« on: April 23, 2012, 07:35:03 PM »

ok I will need some advise from you all! I dont want to use any chemicals but I want to avoid green water.  So this is my question, why my Hyacinth dont multiply as everyone say? Is anyone whilling to share I pay the shipping! I'm whilling to try anything to keep them alive.  I'm adding a picture of my pond (last year), and it is in FULL sun. ideas please.  In here in NC they are kind of $ they sell them $4-$7 a piece and they are not that big  so it can get expensive
Gracias

Pond Chat / Mosquito fish

« on: April 09, 2012, 06:10:27 PM »

Anyone have any idea or any suggestions about mosquito fish? I have never seen them or heard about them until I was checking craiglist the other night and someone is selling them.  will they get alone with the koi and goldies? are they big enough to survive on a pond?
