Can anyone recommend a (pond) fish forum?

I need to revitalise my pond!

Can't suggest a forum but if you have a branch of Maidenhead Aquatics near you they seem to employ knowledgeable staff

If you find one let me know as I am just tidying up round the edges and clearing any lily leaves or weed that is past its best. I may be doing it all wrong!

Normally I would be thinking about roughing off the fish for the winter but with this warm weather they are demanding (as in lots of splashing and leaping) food twice a day still.

Rightly or wrongly, I have entirely emptied my very neglected pond and found a total of 11 fish, including 'Nessie' who has been there for years! He must be 8 inches long!

Fishies are temporarily in an enormous netted bucket, pond has been refilled and they will go back in once the water has dechlorinated.

I can finally see the fish! Zak is obsessed, of course. I shoved him out of the way for the pic.

I'm very impressed with your pond! I have just spent two hours faffing about with my pond I wish I had gone for a complete refurb now.

In case your looking for a good forum in future pond life forums good

Kokos goldfish world is an absolutely brilliant forum - loads of experts and vets, people doing decent research on fish keeping, and keen hobbyists.

You will need to keep an eye on your water chemistry after doing a big clean - it may have crashed the cycle.

It's split into pond and tank sections - here's the pond!
