Fish Crazy
Hi. Just would love some experienced advisors to comment on how goldfish and koi survive UK ponds outdoors?
If anyone of you have them, I'd love your experience on the following for UK OUTDOOR/Winter survival.
1) Which pond plants have had most success?
2) Mechanical filtration system/brand?
3) bio filtration types, where to buy good rocks, sand vs gravel, best lining for bacteria to grow on as well!
4) which snails, any other live bottom feeders good for surviving uk winters?
5) do you do water changes still?
Any other info you have personally discovered to be vital for the fish's health please.
I will research all of your suggestions.
My recent goldfish rescue has inspired me to try a pop up or above ground pond structure since I can't dig.
Thanks
