Thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to get planting in the spring to make it look more natural.

Dez... I'm on shutdown until November, but I'm self inviting me and the family over for a BBQ! I'll bring the beer and steaks! All you need to do is cover your whole back yard so it doesn't freeze... and isn't cold. It looks amazing buddy... maybe we'll have to wait till next year??

Pretending your pond isn't awesome (and that I don't need to desperately move so I have a yard) is getting tougher bro. Again I'm in awe I just LOVE what you did here.

This pond puts my pond to shame. I just visited it yesterday. Wow, it's at the Maui Ocean Center.

And a peek of a few of the fish in that pond.

And yes, Johnny, we can certainly arrange a BBQ

. Maybe next year when we're all planted.

What does Koi taste like BBQ'd?

A little update from our backyard pond build.

Here is a FTS from last month sometime.

Some of the fishies

More fishies, they overwintered fine and a few new ones

And a baby. My fish spawned 2 1/2 weeks ago, this picture was from Canada Day, it was only about 1mm. Now the babies are about 3/4 - 1"
