Hi KoiMaiden - I'm back after a huge hiatus! Just wanted to update you on my goldies, since you have helped me so much with them.
We pulled them into a 140 litre plastic tub in the garage for the winter, where they have totally recovered from ich. The shubunkins have doubled in size, though still aren't even close to Fishy's majesty. I want to put them back in the pond, once I've cleaned it, but my mum wants to redig it, as the dirt at the back is warping the plastic. Unfortunately, I also have to re-build the filter, as it is leaking. Ho hum! Still, can't wait. It's getting very warm here, so the pond should be perfect now!
