My Goldfish pond

At the beginning of this year we decided to build a new home for our resident Goldfish (Hamish). who lived a very lonesome life in a hundred litre tank by the window..

He now lives outside with about fifteen other Goldfish friends which include a pretty Goldfish we name Betty Boop because of her red lips...Though during breeding season we came to realise "Betty" was actually Bobby Boop..

Here are some pics from then till now


This pic gives you an idea as to the size




This is the first inhabitant




The pond last week




Hamish and his friends (Hamish is the large white Fantail and Bobby Boop is on his right)

It looks fantastic Adorabull, A job well done xxdk

I should have added a pic of what we started with.....As you can see we had added a deck and painted the back wall,but the rest was still a messy blank canvas....It still isn't finished "sigh"

You have made a great start though hun, it will look sensational when its completed xxdk

We got a pond but only two fish....although quite large Jack and Jill. Had babies last year but died thanks to the guys putting in new windows.....long story

Thats a great job, lucky things, the best goldfish pad in town I think Mind that's one strange looking goldfish in the second pic, is he a rare variety

A wonderful job, Jo. It looks just fantastic. Hamish must be one happy goldfish

WOW!! Thats one cool pond!

I built one a couple of years ago - a 'raised' one, but the dogs have trashed it, they've dug out all the plants etc

I'm going to rebuild the whole thing again in the spring/summer - just waiting for a certain someone to find me some old railway sleepers!

Looks really nice you have done a good job

Looks really great just wait till the plants get established, (they'll grow very quickly in your climate) post another pic or two in a few weeks time and let us see.
