I have bucket full of Siltex leftover from my angling club, some of it is dampened lumpy, planned to use for my garden pond, can I break it up or water it down as a mix?

Myself and at least 3 others witnessed frogs clamping round the gills of koi carp in a pond in Bournemouth. We watched for a good half hour trying to work out what was actually happening. I genuinely believe they were trying to smother the fish. Definitely happened though no matter what the reason

Working for an elderly lady who moved into house with a small (4' x 6' 2-2 1/2 feet deep with small waterfalls at each end. The pumps are labeled PumpMate 260 US and PetMate.com. I have searched the internet and cannot find any info on these pumps, and the site has only pet items. One of the pumps...

"Could the death of lilypads be caused by the algaecide? The label claimed it was safe! " O shoot! I only wanted to subdue the algae, not the other water-plants. Good thing I did not throw it in yet. Shac Ponder. Website gives no info, just that it is safe for fish. I have a bale of...

Just came across your post on determining a leak in a pond and I have a question. I have a pond that is approximately 2400 gallon that is filtered by a bog. I am losing about 100 gals. of water daily. We just replaced the bog liner to be sure it wasn't the culprit, but it's June, in the south, and...

There are different types of “starchy tubers�. The food based sweet potatoes that grow in the ground and we eat in the United States and also some livestock are botanically called Ipomoea batatas of the Convolvulaceae family. And then there are ornamental vines also botanically the same...

hello, i build koi and goldfish ponds, but this past week i saw a customer who has a avairy for 7 parrots over a small fish pond, couple of questions, 1. since this is a inclosed cage 30 x 10 or so with a 12 x 12 pond first is it safe to have koi and parrots within the same...

We have had the exact same experience. The frogs killed all our fish by clinging on to them. I tried to prise them apart with no joy. We now keep our pond purely as a wildlife pond with no fish, which is better for wildlife anyway.

Yes this has happened in my pond last winter noticed a fish at the bottom I thought was dead when I put it in the net and brought it to the surface notice a frog wrapped tightly around it I removed the frog and threw it over the garden fence the fish swam off but within 2 days it died.😬

I have this happening to me right now, I don't have koi fish I have shubunkins. My poor little fish! It's gripped so tight around him that I can't take him off!

My swimming pool has been established for over 20 years on city. Water and rain water (none from the roof). It has had leaves to clean but fewer this year. However three walnut trees have dropped some this their first year of fruiting. We skim and use a cover regularly with very little litter or...

HI all. I have a problem with my water lilies. Got a couple of pretty flower heads but I also had several mushy flower buds that just were floppy in the water. The plants along with soil, rocks and water are in a large plastic container which I put them in early last year and I had the problem last...

I have acquired a pressurised filter (mini dustbin with foam filters inside) and a UV (light in a box) unit. What should be the sequence in which they are linked ? Pump in pond to ...? bin or UV, which comes first ? I was then assuming it will be ok to then link the two units with Flexi hose and...

I have just witnessed this myself , I have just netted my koi at bottom of pond with a frog on top of it-the frog had wedged its front feet into the fish gills killing the fish. It is mating season at the moment - so this is possible. I was a bit quick removing the frog from the koi to see if the...

I found this blog while trying to find anything I could about frogs killing koi fish. We have a very large natural pond with 12 medium to large koi. Last spring for the first time we started to see tiny black fish in the pond, needless to say they were baby koi. We had a few hundred, many were...

Last weekend i mixed with water and decanted a sack of this in my wild pond to reduce algae. I had a thriving shoal of tiny (1-2 cm long) Golden Rudd fry. Three or four hundred probably. The effect was devastating. Within three days most of them had died. There was nothing in the instructions to...

Where can I come to pick up free koi from you?

Protection could be a reason once pond liners are used. Once a hole is, a pond liner is placed within the hole so it's stuffed with water. Rocks are then placed round the perimeter of the pond to hide up the sting of the pond liner, and additional rocks are congregated on a mound of dirt lined with...
