If you're near Temecula and want my fish, please contact me and let's just do this.  I don't want to deal with this pond anymore, and there are too many flakes on craigslist to deal with (people with tiny ponds trying to tell me it's 20,000 gallons).  You can have them, I don't care about money I just want a good home for them.  If you know someone, have them contact me.  If nobody takes them, then the unthinkable will happen, I want this pond done with once and for all.

I have three koi about 14-18 inches, one large shubunkin and three hifin banded sharks that have all been in this pond for at least 3 years. 

Sorry about being vague, but I have too much bothering me right now and I just don't need the added pressure of having to deal with filters, a skimmer and a pond.

thanks.
I'm broke and can't afford to pay attention, so you might have to lend me an ear.

Michael, sorry to hear you have reached the end of your rope with pond, fish, etc.  I hope things get better for you and soon.   :)

Wow Steve, long time--no see!  Welcome back and I hope you stick around!

I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time, Michael.  I hope relieveing yourself of the pond helps alleviate a little of the stress. 

What are you going to do with the hole, then?  Fill it in?  With what?

Oh, Michael, I wish I could help you out.  I really have no more room for fish, especially the big ones.  But if worst gets to tough send them over until we find them new homes.  Down the road hopefully things will settle down and you'll make a better Eden in your yard.  Keep in touch!

B2. Sorry you are struggling with difficulties and hope it lets up soon. What if you put your fish offer at a local pond place. There's always people starting out who would be thrilled to get some "started" fish.
