i am getting 4 matalic koi or as ino the peacock koi i gess you have probley heard that but any way dose this sound ok this is the stock:

4 x peacock koi 12"-15"
2 x ghost carp/koi 5"
3 x green tench 10"-12"
1 x golden tench 3"
1 x sturgeon dimond i think
1 x common carp around 20"
1 x mirror carp around 20"
5 x golden orfe 3"-4"
2 x grass carp 3"-4"

these fish are beeing holded for me untill i can get the pond up properly it is
8ft x 8ft x 30" will this be ok for these fish ?

but any way abit about me i was in to large tropical fish but had carp before i do a little bit of importing (tropical fish ) but now ive had the english list i can get manny carp , koi , tench ect.. most things in pond i had wels catfish on the list once :P albino ones aswell as common ones , but other then that im getting back in to koi ,

also i am planning after a house move a bigger pond that will be very large also i mean like a small lake around 18ft-20ft long by 10ft-12ft wide and 3ft-4ft deep it will just be like my uncles pond thats around 20ft long by 8ft by 4ft deep its all done with out a fillter judt a powerful founting the water is a lovely green coulor and some of his koi are stunning in there he also has golden orfe that are breeding in there , some very nice plants aswell .

or should i go for a very large fillter but i no it would be great but the time to clean it lol ! also the cost im thinking realisticly to just have a large power head and a fountings in there i think this would be better with mixed lillys and oxygention plants , dose this sound ok aswell ??

i would be greatful if you can get back to me on this

cheers

yes i just dident no the spelling on this and dident want to look like a noob lol


well im getting a cupple of them over the next cupple of months i think ill get some koi from one of my importers , and then keep a cupple for my self and sell others on . simple as that haha any koi your after ask and ill see whta i can get

well i gee its going to be w whille before the large pond so i think im best of sorting the 8ft one out first

this should be holding them for a cupple of years first though get them over 2ft long im also getting a cupple channal catfish from my importer so ill probley sell some on here ive had a wels a cupple months ago now almost a year !!! was a cool fosh just was aggressive though . so i sold him well swapped for a stingray
