My four wanted to say hello - it is the first time I have actually managed to get a pic of them! Two comets and two shabumkins. Let's see all your fish too [ 12. August 2007, 05:44 PM: Message edited by: Gillypetunia ]
The frog in this picture gilly has to use the boat as the koi will eat him The koi just coming in the top of the picture is about 16" long and will eat frogs that drop in
Love the fishy pictures and how clear the water both of you! I bought 7 fish, shabumkins, Italian gold fish (My poor Florence she was my favourite sadly attained a negative life syndrome some two years ago). Well they all bred like mad, I have offered them to friends but no one can catch them. There were masses of pin sized fish of a real mixture. This year I cut the feeding right down and I think the big ones have eaten the little ones, but hopefully not the frogs of which there were masses this year - and how do you stop the lawn mower from mashing them all from round the edge of the pond?
Mr Froggy looks nice and comfy there! Do the koi really eat real frogs? :eek: I suppose they can eat the diddy ones hey? Thanks for the pics, what type of Koi are they? :D
Thanks - the water has finally cleared again after the last hot spell Sorry to hear about your fish that got sick :( I think my fish have been breeding because they chase each other and hang around the others rear end... I guess eating the babies as they drop out? I am just picturing lawnmower mashed frogs - not a pretty site
That first photo is excellent GP! I must admit to being envious of all of you with fish in your ponds. We finally had to give up as the heron kept inviting himself to a free lunch.
Yes Gilly unfortunately they do eat frogs they hassle the big ones until they drown then as they decompose they eat them,there are 5 white koi 2 Ginmatsuba, 2 Doitsu 1 Ogon and one red/blue Goshiki there is also 1 Golden Orfe. Koi are very greedy fish and will eat anything.
