wintering some extra fish

[sissy]

See thats why I have the large tank I bought that was damaged not only to store fish that have to be moved from abandoned ponds but for sick fish it is great .It had a damaged top on it and all I did was saw the top off that was no good and kept the rest intacked .It was one of those large tanks white tanks the sell at tractor supply that is for water storage and works great for so many things .When my pond liner was ripped by a neighbor dog I put all my fish in it with the aerator and make shift filter and it works great .Tractor supply gets them in like this once in awhile and if you ask you can pick one up cheap ,I paid 50 dollars for mine .

my ph was in the 5.5 range when we first filled the pond, never thought of testing the ph. Well water, no chlorine, it sat for about 2 months before a fish was added, they all died. I felt horrible.
