I have never seen water hyacinth here, so perhaps no one has tried growing it. I have seen it down south when I was traveling though. I liked the purple flowers LOL. My 125 gallon tank has the highest hood, it is wooden and suspended above the tank. The original design […]
Wow.. I’m surprised there’s only nine States that they won’t ship to. Most places consider it a VERY non-native invasive species. Of course, they may not ship up there to you or to HI regardless. Aren’t there any places up there where Water Hyacinth grows wild? Maybe it won’t survive your […]
Shannon,
I see Ray made mention of your screened in porch, something I wanted to mention also. Most outdoor plants require 6 hours of sunlight to bloom. They will grow, but not bloom, and, if you give them less than 3-4 hours, they may not grow all that well. However, if you wish, you can also […]
Shannon,
Husband is a military man, is he? That usually means periodic transfers, doesn’t it? In that case, your idea of container water gardens would be a good one. They would be easy to pick up and move with you, rather than leaving the pond behind. The clay is no fun to dig.
Probably the cheapest, and […]
I had originally thought about the container garden but so far I haven’t found anything I like. My husband is insistant on koi but I would be okay with the commom, comet, and/or shubunkin type goldfish. Of course I wouldn’t use koi in the container garden. As for size I would like to get at […]
Hi Shannnnon, Oops, did I use one too many “n’s” or two too many? (LOL) — check back to your signature. Anyway, with a lot of work ahead of just you, and your uncertainty on how this will go, a container garden is a good way to get your feet wet (LOL) — couldn’t […]
Hello all, I live in Virginia and am planning my first pond. I am not in any hurry as I want to do it right. It was actually my husbands idea but guess who will be doing most of the work. He is stationed on a cutter right now and isn’t home much but he […]
It must have been Lenny lol.

Hey Jimmy & Lenny. I know that this is a rare thing, but Dec. 11,2008 we had about 3 to 4 inches of snow in Mandeville. I am putting pictures in an album named Tawny-please view them. […]
Hey Lenny, I like the idea of a second pond. Thanks for all of your helpful info. Tawny TAWNY

Many people do mix them but if you want to keep the purity/beauty of your Koi, especially Butterfly Koi, and hopefully have spawns from them in the future so you can continue the FreeCycle cycle, then it would be best to keep them separate. That, and the fact that you may need all the […]
