Supersonic Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi All Due to various circumstances (one of them being "grandchildren") we have decided to decommission and fill in our well established garden pond. We would like to sell the lot as a whole but would be acceptable to offers for individual items. Attached are some photo's. The inventory is as follows: Fish - just ordinary goldfish for the most part, at least 25-30 of them, ranging in size from a couple of inches to big old 'Moby' who is at least a foot long. There are also a couple of Ghost Koi lurking in the depths somewhere approx 4-5 inches long. Shed loads of oxygenating weed plants. Established lily plants (x2) Some established Iris type plants. If you are quick there is also bucket loads of frog spawn & tadpoles. If anyone makes a decent offer for the lot I will throw in the water for free!

Dirty Harry Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Don't assume because a fish is big that it's worth a lot. Unless you paid a lot for it as a small fish the odds are it won't be worth much. Quality not quantity. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Moby is quality, even the cat runs away when he surfaces with all the grace of a Typhoon sub. Legend also has it that he once told a heron to **** off, and was once chairman of Portsmouth Football Club. Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 No takers then?? I'm mixing the batter and peeling the spuds as we speak. Mind you, double-hard Moby might take some catching, I might call Robson green for some help. Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmooney Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Just a thought...is there a Senior Citizen Center, an old age home, or a school nearby that might have a pond in need of sprucing up? Maybe you could donate the stuff to them? I know over here we can write that stuff off our taxes as charitable contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Legend also has it that when big Moby was in the wild he head-butted a ship that got in his way called the Titanic causing a fair bit of damage. The media were told the ship had hit an ice berg to avoid mass public panic. True story! N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I had to get rid of mine when sold last house - gave fish away then spent a week getting all the mud and lilies out - couldn't lift root ball - had to use bread knife to cut it into bits - I drained pond slowly and caught fish as and when I could - found a huge fish in mud - mate gave it me years ago and never saw it since - was a bottom feeder but also came straight up for food and all you saw was it's mouth. Can't for life of me remember what it was. - Then spent another week knocking sides in to hole and filling it with soil - Orrible job. They were same - got grandkids.

Supersonic Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Did I also mention that we have newts in the pond? One of them had a run-in with old Moby last week - pic below..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
