Went to a koi society BarB Q Think you have koi?

This is amazing. When he fed them I was splashed in the frenzy.  They had babies and kept them. It is a lot of fish,but they seem healthy.

No Kathy, it is a big fountain. In the photo one can't tell, but it is a symetrical spray.

it sure is a feeding frenzy!

The pic below is the backside of my pond. A good view of the burgies going wild.  Why post here? I am going nuts learning Windows 7 ...I take ever opportunity to try.

He fed them a container of food about the same size as mine.  Mine lasts a week plus. His in one full shot.
I guess the warnings we get about over crowding are not as dire as we thought? As I said before, my pond now looks empty.

I Find Over Crowding To To Be More A Function Of The Bathrooms.   The Question I Have Is How Big And Efficient Is The Mech And Bio Filter?  You Can Really Stack Them As Long As You Can Eliminate Thd Waste.  I'd Guess 2-300 Gal In Settling And Biofilter Minimum.  Still If One Gets Sick It Could Turn Out Bad.
