Almost Done!!!

[smcox1]

So I released them and they seem to be happy exploring their new home.

 

[j.w]

Now you have to wait like I am doing for my new little shubbies to show themselves and to not think I am the mean monster from the black lagoon waiting to pounce on them and eat them up

 

[smcox1]

They actually seem to be pretty friendly. I only wanted two but they had three in the tank and I couldn't leave one behind so I brought all three of them and I bet they put three out at I time so that you will by all of them and not leave one by himself. Lol!!

So I have this black one with Orange

And a orange one with white and a really dark black one with a little bit of orange and they are about 5" long.

 

[j.w]

Nice ones! Mine next to yours would look like little bugs :goldfish:

 

[addy1]

very nice fish! enjoy them

 

[smcox1]

Lol! Do you guys think I could turn this preformed liner into a bog? And would it be big enough to keep my pond clean?

I think its about 220 gallons.

 

[sissy]

why not make it a plant pond .Nice fish and koi are usually friendlier than other fish because they like to be social .Mine love watermelon and other fruit .

 

[smcox1]

I was thinking of putting it right next to my pond and buying a spilway thing that one of the members make on this forum and have it pour into my pond.

 

[smcox1]

I'm so pissed off right now because I haven't seen my new fish all day and I'm pretty sure something got them. There went $45 down the drain.

 

[addy1]

Darn, you sure they aren't hiding, mine hid from me for over 6 months, 4 of them, but then again they had a lot of water to hide in. Never knew we had any fish survive until spring and spawning chase.

 

[sissy]

They do that alot when you first get them ,hide .Wait until evening and see what happens .I found mine hide during the day from the bright sun and as soon as the light fades they come out .

 

[smcox1]

I hope they are just hiding but I didn't even see them this morning.

 

[j.w]

Ok I'm having the same problem sm and I could not stand to wait to find out if they were still in there or if they dissolved into thin air. I took everything out and there they were hiding between two bricks under a potted plant. Put everything back and gave them more options of new things to hide under. If I go out and stand there and hang my head down and wait I can see one poke it's little nose out from under something now and then. But they sure aren't coming out and swimming around. I throw a food disc in there for them each day and I'll just have to wait till they come out. Mine are in the bath tub pond tho so easier to find them. Hope you didn't lose yours and they are just hiding. They are really, really good hiders. You would be surprised on the small, skinny places they can fit into.

 

[smcox1]

I hope they are hiding I have already been in the pond moving rocks around and haven't seen anything.
