Tizzylizzy here, was on the old forum before but dont know if alot people remember me...anyhooo...would like to say hello to all here and enjoy getting all the advice and maybe make a few nice friends here.
Sean is already helping me out with my tropical lily, if any others have any inputs feel free to let me know!
I look forward to chatting with all of you and I love this site!
Just a quick note on me....love my pond and fish! I have a 1200 gallon pond for 7 years now with approx. 30-35 fish, shubunkins, sarassa, goldfish and two koi. Named practically every one and they are all very friendly and love to be hand fed. I have the large fishmate filter system with the UV light and a bubbler going.
I have had terrible luck keeping any kind of plants in my pond the past 2 years, especially this year. I think its my koi destroying everything. they both are about 12 inches or more now and love to root around and nibble at everything I put in there.
Does anyone else have this problem?
How the heck do you keep shade and good balance with plants if the koi keep destroying them?
My tropical lily Red Ruby I got the beginning of August and raised the pot up to just about 2 inches under the water surface and theyve been pretty good at staying out it, I also put heavier rocks on the surface of the pot too. I will definitely do that again to keep them out of the pots!
Well, hello again, and look forward to your comments!
