edit: gum ball machine had koi food in it
I wish!
I had a Koi pond for about two weeks. Then every damn frog within a half mile radius relocated to my yard every night to get their freak on. The croaking until 2AM was so deafening I had to sleep with a pillow on my head. I came home one day, gave the Koi to my neighbor, drained the pond, and filled it in with dirt and slept like a baby that night.
I wish!
I pay 50 cents an hour. Lets start digging.
My workplace he a large pond (over an acre) that has had Koi for about 25 years. There are literally hundreds of fish. Massive ones too. I can put my hand in the water and dozens will swarm.
They are super friendly and love to be fed.
The biggest problem is osprey who come in for breakfast in the spring. Wild to see and the population is big enough to handle it.
nice looking work place
you don't want the top to completely freeze over. when the vegetation leaves plant fish waste breaks down it creates a gas that robs oxygen. you should have a whole somewhere in the ice for this gas to escape.
+1.
There is a heater-type thing you can get to make a hole in that ice.
If it's frozen over, there can be no gas exchange, and the fish will die.
