Hi. Some nice fish you have there. To elaborate a bit, I used to keep Koi, but since my move 18 months ago I'm 'pondless'

I'm considering taking it up again but I have some real issues where I am now. The main one is access to my garden (and of course the cost involved). My house is terraced although there is a small alley down the side. I'd have to physically carry all the spoil down the side. One other issue is although my garden is long, it's very narrow (around 14ft). I thought I'd join the forum to see if I can be inspired to go ahead with such a project. I DO miss my old friends (Koi). My pond was around 2,000 gallons with 12 good sized fish, some of which were relatively expensive. If I can dig them out, I'll post some pics.
Cheers...freddy.

cheers freddy, i must say i would be alittle stuck without my pond and koi lol i own ukkrazykoi too. I also had the chance to move to a newer house but like yourself the access etc and garden was alot smaller than the one im in now so there was no chance i have spent hours of my time on the pond and garden not to mention the ££££ lol i am currently looking to get a coplue new fish a big chagoi and showa but being jobless at the mo is stopping that looks like the breeding program will have to play a big part of my stocking this season .
