We have done this mutually with a neighbour but i am worried he has built a wall quite close to the yew tree to protect his koi carp pond. Is this going to be an issue?

I would like lowish maintenance fish/crustaceans preferably native Australian fish not goldfish and in my area i can’t keep koi carp. My ph can be changed depending on the fish, but my temperature range is quite variable 7-25 degrees Celsius thanks for reading my question hope you can offer some good advice.

Koi help?

Suzita asked:

I have a large fish pond in my London garden, which has a thriving collection of mostly goldfish and one or two medium koi carp. The pond was here when I bought the house and I try to look after it well. Last week for the first time I bought two new fish – very small silver koi. I floated the bag they were in on the pond for two hours before releasing them into the pond. I haven’t seen them for three days – they could be hiding under the weeds, but my worry is that they have perished.

Any advice would be of great help. Thank you!
