Our pond has to go and with it the fish frown

If you can transport them, as many as you like, different sizes and varieties, you're welcome to have them. We're in Newbury in Berkshire and I presume they don't travel well.

The pond was already here when we bought the house, and we're no experts, but they are all healthy as far as I'm aware. In the five years we've been here, one jumped out, the heron has had a couple and three have just died. There's fifty or sixty remaining; it's a big pond.

Access to the back garden and pond is limited. A wheelbarrow is about as much as you can get round there.

Please PM me if you're interested or know of somewhere or someone who would like them.

Are you still in need of moving the fish on?

Someone's building a pond to accomodate them! However, if there are too many for them or the scheme falls through, I'll PM you in the next fortnight or so. Thanks.

There are some things even old contractors won't do, Al.
