Derekp's Pond Build Thread...

What about your Niger cat?

He is in a 10,000 gallon tank at a cabelas in buda texas living a happy life along with 17 of my other fish. I just managed to shine and catch a gar and the tinfoil barb. The barb grew from about 4" to 12" in about 3 months. lol

How big did he get? I got rid of mine when he reached 23 inches

man I love the progression in this thread. The pond looks awesome man actually the entire backyard does

 

[derekp]

He was about 34 or so inches when I gave him to them. He was an absolute pita to move. lol

 

[derekp]

Thanks man. Its always a work in progress. I hope to have alot more features such as streams and waterfalls for the pond in the future.

Well it was 37 degrees last night so i spent 45 minutes with a flashlight and my net outside by the pond. I managed to catch the last 2 florida gar and 2 bala sharks by shining them and scooping. At least I got them inside before the water could get cold enough.

I hate the cold, It was this time last year when I lost my 'pond'.

I would say good luck but seems you finished.

well 37 degree isn't gonna hurt the koi! I got 33 a few days a go and the koi seem like nothing happened!
