Sunday these two should be picked up.

And these big 8 might be picked up today.

That leaves just the 5.25" koi, the 6 fingerlings & 2 goldfish!

Color me impressed....

Yay, 8 big guys sold!


Now for the smaller guys...
Might put them into the house when I put the two bought koi out...hmm...

Color me impressed....

I was really worried it was another guy just screwing around. A LOT of people do that...
But he showed up. Thanks a ton, stranger! Lol

Might have to compost the iris, though, like last year.
I wonder if its invasive...Mud pond could use it, but I know it's not safe for critters to eat....IDK if the ponies will eat it...

Put them in the tank.
And then got tons of ppl asking about them.
Heh, should of waited.
Also recaught a big one that I missed or escaped while I was taking the first round of pics, lol.

And....tomorrow someone is supposed to come for all final 8 koi & 2 goldfish, then another person for the 2 big goldfish!


It's so hot out!
Not making much progress with finishing the pond. Need to cut a notch out of a 2x4 for the intake pipe, but it's not going well. Plus, the pipe has glued on fixtures, but I need to squeeze it through a hole a touch smaller than 2" in the liner...hmm...

Found 2 baby koi!

They're living in my ramshorn snail tank until they're big enough to go into the 125gal w/o getting sucked up by the filter.

19 koi & 4 goldfish have all gone to new homes!



The pond is so calm now! Just my chosen bloopers, no aggravating mutts darting about.

Got the hole in the liner cut, pipe cut and through that hole. Added more silicone than sense to both sides, more is probably on me than it! Two metal clamps are strapping that sucker onto the pipe as well.

If it leaks...I'm going to have a meltdown....

Then, once I regain sense, I'm going to save money to buy a larger, new liner and back hoe rent money. Dig a humongous hole, hire a pro to put in the pipe through liner and call it done forever.
