  • Yes, but all are too big now. They use to go upstream and end up in the filter!

    But its just what I wanterd now, they go in the bog and pick around, I think they enjot it a lot.

  • What yo want to do is supper easy, just make the pond, keep it fairly shallow, and add plants, nothing more to do but think them out! And my little bog is not so little anymore, it's a great place for small fish to hang out away from the bug guys.

  • The bog does barely anything, but I do have filters besides that. The koi love the bog and I'm trying to slowly remove the rocks so they can go right into it and pick at the plants.

  • The pond is made with a liner, no cement. It is level al the way around, and is cionnected to the sprinking system which adds 5-10 minutes of water every other day.

  • I plan to take the rocks out a few at atime as the plants grow, to encourage my koi to go up in the bog and play. Should have an update around June.

  • I had a section of pond where the stream entered that had no filtration. Crap was building up there, so I had the idea to make that area a bog/filter. So it's actually all inside the pond, inside the liner. I agree, you don't want a leak!

  • have your fish ever gone through the stream up to the current?

  • This is great! I'm planning to build a pond, but not for fish.  Fish scare me. I just wanted a body of water for toads, birds, bats etc. to encourage them to take up residence near the house and eat some of my insects. I'm also going to use bentonite clay as a natural liner. I wonder how your pond is holding up...I thought you needed more area in the planted portion to provide adequate filtration...

  • This is freaking awesome man greatt job!

  • cool

  • So that bog is a joke, you really could do so much more for your fish and your pond!

  • Looks pretty awesome though the water is still really cloudy have you considered saving for a real filtering system with a uv system?. Your fish would probably love it and you would be able to see what is going on?.
