Hi all,
I am going to post some pictures of the ponds soon- I promise. Waiting for it to warm up alittle more. The fish and plants are all coming out of hibernation, and really starting to take off.
If anyone is interested in starting up a bog, or pond- I have a ton of plants that will need to be moved. Lots of water lilies, lotus, cannas, water iris, anacharis,dwarf palm, papyrus rush, LA Iris,cambomba, etc.
To make a long story short... going thru a divorce, selling the house, and I sold plants on the internet. Due to my health, I can't even dig, etc- so we liquidated most of my Tall Bearded Iris in the fall, and the ponds need cut back. Have over 500 varities of TB Iris, and never did anything in a small way.
Anyone interested? You bring your bucket, and shovel. Rey- I found I still have butterfly Koi that just showed up when feeding, they were hiding good in the plants.
I just hate to sell the house, and not know if new owners really want ponds, fish, etc... and may just let them all die.
Just send me a PM.

Amy

PS- My son is looking for a CO2 setup for a small planted tank, anyone have one, or know where to get one at a good price?
I am sticking to my outside plants, guess the plant gene is strong.:tease:

Hey....we would love to see pics. It will be interesting to see it all greened up and going. Sorry about all the other problems though. That stinks. Actually the pond would probably be a good selling point. Lots of people really like the ponds

I'm planning a pond, but it might be a year out before I even break ground :(.

It's terrible you have to sell off everything, but I definitely know who I'm asking when the time comes :hehe:.

And who knows maybe we can strike up a deal were you can still seal plants, but I house them for you (if you don't have another pond already).

And I'd LOVE to see picture if you get a chance!!!!

CO2? what size tank?

Water Lilies have gone CRAZY!!!!!
They are growing on top of one another fighting for space. Anyone want Water Lilies??? Pink, Red, Yellow, Changables ( Go from Yellow, to peach/pink) and Whites.
Also have too much Louisana Iris, and Cypress Rush.
Will post Pictures in the am. Divided them earlier this spring, and fertilized... apparently they liked it alittle too much.

I'm starting building a pond. I definately need pond plants in a week or two. And some Koi too.
Thanks
