The Pond Thread

I think it might actually be a blue shusui instead of a white. Not as strong contrast, but a "blue" koi is still neat.
Blue is makes with a see through white skin and black underskin...idk correct terminology.


Only pics I could find larger than 7-8".
Biggest is 11".

Tried to feed pellets, he was excited, but didn't eat them.
Got out flakes and he ate several big flakes.
Added a bubbler as well.
He's doing a strange thing I've only seen in puppies and similar animals, trying to eat out of other kid's mouths! Weird.
Hopefully, he's just weak from hunger.
Other is zooming around happily.
Some crappy pics, as lights are still off to reduce stress.

Well has too much nitrates, so will need to shock treat it again. Ugh.

Removed a bunch of parrot feather, hoping that helps lessen the tidbits freefloating...

Put phone in plastic bin to get video. I need a wider one to hold phone sideways...

Like others who are thinking of having an artificial pond set up in the backyard, I am thinking of adding fish that can be harvested and can be used for daily consumption.
