Do you have good circulation? It’s a good idea to run UV on the return flow to help prevent disease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good idea to run UV on the return flow to help prevent disease john i know that i am an ideat to a lot of peopple. but i am over sized on filtration and uv acording to those that know better than me. i have 2 ponds the smaller pond acts as a filta for sludge if it gets past my dustbin sicise filta, which is feed from the large pond via a uv light, the large pond has a seperate smaller filta with a uv light. wateris aprox 4 quibik mt deponding on rain or drought. i test vfor ph ect , once a week in the summer and less in winter. this year i invested in plunts that help with the quolty of the water. thank you for you tips and i am looking forward to any more that you might have. i find that the fish help me to relax and chill out but anybody have any idears i am allways ready to listen again thanks jon, your input is allways valued Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination 🤣 When I have kept fish in the past I’ve found that water volume is key, the more you have the easier it is to keep stable. Have you had any pictures with white spot etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hi Pete, Have you tried gumtree? You can advertise them on there. You could also try any local pet shops that sell fish, the small shops are the best ask as they will be less likely to have contracted suppliers. Failing that, dig another pond!! 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about just putting them in a local river? one of my ancestors Thomas Austin let a few of his pet rabbits out in Australia and they seemed to do rather well.

So you can top Andy's 118 acre lake in your back garden? I'm pretty sure the Tring complex and Wilstone are partly in Andy's estate too with some fishing rights extended to him......
