carp
« on: June 21, 2011, 07:36:36 AM »
the water under mulberry tree that hangs over the big pond has been ''boiling'' all day long for a week or more . it's carp eating the mulberrys that are falling in the water . happens every year but this year has been better than past [more mulberrys ???]. the fish are mostly in the two foot in length size and there are usually a dozen or more . also had about a dozen ducks in the yard most of the time . some just resting in shade from tree and others eating berries . , , ,peace..........oh , when watching these fish going for berries it reminds me of guys chasing a loose football on field during nfl game .

Are they grass carp?  We have them in our big pond.  I love to watch them eat the grass after we mow the pond damn.

Our koi love mulberries another thing I've seen them eating is rose petals that fall in the pond...the wind blows them in and they gobble them up....I know every year when the water level falls in the area lakes you can go out and see the huge carp coming up digging around in the mud...I could watch them for hours doing that--and yes they are huge...

While I was at a pond shop in Austin, the guy was telling a koi shopper all kinds of greens & fruits & veggies to feed the fish.  I keep forgetting to supplement their feed with fresh food, and your post is a good reminder.
