You can see they have more colour in them already 😍

The more the merrier!

They look a lot better, but there are so many bronze ones. Possibly unintentional hybrids? Seems inefficient to feed fish one can't see year in and year out.

I kinda like the bronzey looking ones honestly. Especially when you can see a bit of the orange or yellow on their heads peeking through the scales. I mean to each their own of course but I've always liked bronze goldfish too.

Much better they look so happier 😊

Thanks for the comment 🙂 we will try to arrange a visit to go back and update you all

yes please!

I'd love to see the pond when the water is all clear too please.

Update?

There have been a few updates since. Have a look in my channel

Yes we added some Melafix. We always have some large tubs in the van. Some people commented stating that they would not have completely drained the pond however after seeing the dangerous nitrate levels in the water we knew we had to act fast. We did our best not to shock the fish and clearly did it right as we lost none even with the sudden change in parameters. We did what we could. What the video doesn’t show (we didn’t think KZfaq would allow it) was that we found 2 dead fish during the drain. They were both very sore looking and had clearly been suffering for some time. Thank you for the comment, I hope you enjoyed the video

Ice cream salt and about a dozen American pennies on the bottom. Plecostomus.

We can’t have Plecos in ponds here in the U.K.

⁠@@Mountain_Aquaticsis there a reason why you can’t have Plecos?

It gets far too cold. Also, there is some debate regarding Plecostomus eating slime coat from goldfish. It has been recorded too many times for it to be worth the risk

Thank you so much! People mean well, and everybody has an opinion. Unfortunately not everybody can be right. It try to educate people where I can and learn myself if I need to. Thank you for noticing ❤️

I agree 😁

Yeah they looked much different. Do you know what causes that?

@@colmcille9669 I'm not a fish expert by any means lol, but based on what I know of other fish (bettas mostly) their color can be effected by diet, health, exposure to light... If the koi in this pond have been living in murky water eating only algae and whatever bugs fell in the water (and maybe things like frog eggs or each other?) they probably weren't getting the kind of nutrients or environmental requirements for having better color. Now that the water is cleaner and (I assume) someone is feeding them, they're getting a chance to brighten up!

@@cassie.m.0723 That makes sense, yeah. Nutrition and maybe some light-stimulated pigmentation. Thanks!

They do look so much better now don’t they. I hope the video showed how much they have improved in colour.

Ash thank you so much for your support mate it means a lot! I can only do it with you lot pushing me!

It's not knowing what's in the bottom off the pond 😎

I’m gutted we didn’t find an old trolley 😂

​@@Mountain_Aquatics 😂

I agree, the algo definitely hitting rn.

It’s all in the plan, we will get there with this pond eventually. Stay tuned 👍🏻

Yes totally agree definitely more plants and much bigger pots for water lilies. It's a lot better than it was but water is still quite green

Yes I think it will look even better in a few more weeks!

@@Mountain_Aquatics Keep updating as much as you can on this project! This is what I think of when I think of an English garden pond. Cheers from Tennessee!

Can’t wait

​@@carpbros5162 count me in

Yes they are very happy now with their pond and the fish are so much happier as well. I’m glad you liked the fish

And they’re only going to get better and better

I’ll look in to some sort of underwater camera. Thank you for noticing the relaxing way I make my context and that’s is the style I aim for. It’s simple and relaxing 👍🏻

We left that job to them 🤣

I appreciate that! I don’t like these videos where everyone is jumping about and shouting. I feel our videos suit a slow and relaxing pace. But I’m glad you understand that it’s very hard work 😁

Very Clever bit of equipment

Thank you Peter! Much appreciated

Cheers buddy, I agree! Thank for the comment

Yes plants are a brilliant and probably the best way of fighting algae. They take up the nutrients so there’s non left for the algae

Thank you Theresa, I will suggest some to the owner. I’m glad you noticed the colours in the fish had improved because I’m quite proud of that

@@Mountain_Aquatics I look forward to more improvements of those fish now that they are getting proper Sun light in your next update. You and your team are a gift to those fish. I can see skimmer is gonna end up as a toy for those fish 😂

It has been hard work but as you can imagine it is very rewarding.

From the USA too. I guess we like a little bling. Some nite lights strung from those columns, not in the water, but for ambience in the evening.

👍🏻

On to the next project now 💪🏻

Do another update

The new owners do now ❤️

I’m glad you agree, we have solved the problem now so the pond should look after itself

Thanks, yes hopefully we can go back and see how it’s improved 👍

Do you think they look brighter?

@@Mountain_Aquatics yes definitely brighter and each looks more unique....before they were all the same grey..!! The client must be happy 😊

Only a few hours away Neville, you can watch it live and we will all watch it together and can chat

@@Mountain_Aquatics absolutely👍🏼

Me to! We will keep you updated

Let’s hope we can show you plenty more ponds between now and then 😉

Cheers Morgan

Awesome! Thank you! I hope you enjoy our other videos as well 😁 we will keep making more!

Thank you! Have you watched all the updates yet?

They look much better don’t they. The colours are much brighter now

They look much better don’t they

I wi always try to reply to them all. But I know one day that might become difficult

Thanks so much dude, I’m still waiting for another video from you guys ❤️

Cheers Kristy, I think this one was a bit too long though. What do you think?

@@Mountain_Aquatics it was a bit long, I do agree, about a minute or two would be good unless they're really going at it still.

Yes I will keep that in mind in future

Yes it seems to be going well. And it’s really rewarding doing it

It really is!

Thanks , we’ll bring you another as soon as we can ❤️

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much 👍🏻

@@Mountain_Aquatics THAT'S OKAY!!! YOU DESERVED MY COMMENT, I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION IN USING YOUR COMPANY!!! GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO!!!!

❤️

Thank you!

I hope so too!

Thank you ❤️

Cheers pal, mad how much they have changed in colour

@@Mountain_Aquatics id clear out and restock it myself dozen red white wakin dozen golden rudd and 7 or 9 Purachina koi plus maybe some shubs

That would be a stunning combo

How did we get power to this pond?

Thank you. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it. You might like some of our other videos? You never know, maybe it will make you want to get some fish one day 😁

@@Mountain_Aquatics thanks for the reply sir

Thanks, be sure to subscribe for more

@@Mountain_Aquatics I already subscribed on first one I watched and liked

We were so surprised

Hopefully more on the way 👍🏼

Thank you

Thank you so much for the kind feedback, it means a lot. It’s great to have you on board, you never know you might end up with some fish yourself eventually 😁

There are a couple of newer ones than this if you want to check them out 👍🏻

I think they are happy now 🙂

Yes I agree, no problems from herons so far though. Hopefully the sides are too steep.

@@Mountain_Aquatics I have a similar sized pond and a Heron who is a frequent caller, he takes a goldfish when he can and I don’t begrudge him them one bit. He leaves the bigger koi alone , I think it keeps the pond healthier.

Thank you Jammerzz!
