Hi there! I agree, this is a really lovely forum and as you say, it's great to connect with other people who can share their experience with problems, or simply exchange tips and ideas
Your pond sounds lovely! I've never heard of gambuzias, checked them out online and they eat mosquito larvae? Very useful fish to have, we do get a few mosquitos near the water here, been bitten a few times whilst observing the fish! I hope you eventually do add some koi, they are so beautiful.
When we moved into our property 7 years ago there was a raised circular pond on the patio area. We added four koi to this pond as tiny ones. We've since had an extension on the back and so needed to remove the raised pond to create space. Cue a mini digger and removal of quite a bit of ground and we now have our sunken pond! I'll see if it will allow me to attach a photo. (The pond is not quite as beautiful as it can be following a few issues!)
