Can you explain what the fish are for? I guess I thought you wanted to sell them and raise them for resale? Food, looks, pets? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe grass carp are pond janitors. They will clean up any pond. Various herbivores, they will eat all the algae type vegetation and even clip away weeds that get too close to the water. Like water born cows, they never stop eating. Native to the Mekong river of Vietnam, they have been bread not to be able to breed, or esle they will take over a waterway.The rest of the color is just a quality of life thing. Starting to pretty up the place here and there. Place to relax after a hard day of thinking about what I will be doing someday in the future.

Ours would eat like 20x their weight as they grew, once full grown they didn’t eat much at all. When they die they are a pain to get out of the pond and 5-6’ long of heavy stinking fish. I used to put them in the compost bin and cover it with straw to knock down the aroma
About the time the carp start getting things in control the herons will move in and well no more fish.. and the darn things are protected.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Simply they clean your pond and such? Interesting enough. You should take some progress photos as you go each week. Should be interesting to see them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No mistake, just a bad week. Have some sweet tea (with additive) and relax.On the kioti, being NEW. Why would you have to pay for a thing even transport. Sure you dropped good coin on it.I have taken a shower or 2, not fun. lucky lately.
