I have a ton of web pages on aquariums and freshwater fish.
You can go to the index at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/fish.htm I also now have a tiny saltwater aquarium section. The index is at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/marine/index.htm When posting to the aquariums section, please choose one of the forums at the top if appropriate instead of the generic area of the aquarium forum (where this is posted). Enjoy your fish! -------------------- Robyn, Former Analytical Chemist, Zone 6/7, Maryland

Hi guy35
Robyn beats me by around 15 hours which is what it takes with regular feeds cleaning of glass, pipes,water changes etc of the newts and the koi, then there are the cats to take into consideration grooming, littlertray cleaning, feeding letting in and out But we don't have children and when all is said and done you could call our pets our children When we have the pond up and running I'm hoping that we can shave a little time off of this as it's really starting to hurt with my Arthritis and Val's MD. Our logic being that the pond being larger and being almost self cleaning, bar cleaing the Vortex's through slide valves should extend our hobby a further 20 years. Robyn your a star rgds broxandval -------------------- Weve been Keeping Koi now for 26 year's we have 20 Koi, 1 orfe , 6 newts, a rescue female cat aged 4 called Suki (four white socks white running from chin to chest, white streak down belly the, body being black, have a russian blue type cat with while leg markings white chin etc and the cutest young boy cat, Jet black in colour (who has two tails)
