Fish in need of a good home...

[theboyfold]

...ideally not on a BBQ!

Does anybody have a pond, or know of anybody with a pond who would like some fish? I'm moving house and the new place doesn't have such a big garden so I need to 'downsize' my pond.

I've got about 2 1 foot long golden orfes, 2 ghost koi, 2 red finned rudd and a few strange hybrid fish that have been born since I've had the pond.

I really don't want to bump them off

I have to ponds about 2500 gallons capacity with full filtration and airation.
Covered with wire to keep the heron at bay.

Your welcome to bring them over
Will have to quarenteen them for 48hrs but thats no issue.

[theboyfold]

That would be great

Once I'm home I'll drop you a line.

How long did the Orfe take to settle down? We had a couple and they were stark raving mad. Flying around the pond and jumping out of the water all the time until they got abit bigger (about 13" - 14") and settled down.

They were quite mellow. They didn't jump out of the water at all, they darted around a little bit though.

Now they just sit in the flow of water from the pump / waterfall.

I have two ponds.
A smaller 400 gallon one for the smaller fish.

The larger one over 2000 gallons and 5 foot deep has the bigger Koi
and other fish.
One Orf which I have had for years.

Plus a big 2 foot black/copper Koi (Jaws)

Would love to give those a home but only have a single filter system which prob isn't ideal.

Let me know if you can't find a home for them though.

Finally made it home last night, just a week late

Thanks for the comments and mails, I'll get round to sorting through everything I have to do this week.

The fish should be ready to move this weekend, Rick are you still able to help out?

[SVTRick]

Yes mate no problem.
Just changing the rock and plant arrangements around the perimeter
but the pond is all ok.
