Whatever size you have, you will always want a bigger pond.

Cheers mate, another day older and no cake, lol.

Happy Birthday to you big guy

Stuartt's forgotten to mention this is a BKKS National winner. - Size 1 Tancho - 1st.

Well done.

"Couldnt resist this one", you say. That's no surprise. EVEN FROM THE PHOTOS I BET YOU HAD DECIDED IT WAS YOURS. BEFORE IT WAS BOWLED. I think your on to a winner.

I would love to have seen the Akita's face. I bet he's thinking, "Barry's lost the plot now"

Got my fingers crossed for you Jason. Have you filled it yet ?

Spill the beans - how much was this one then ?

You could have a drawbridge over the (moat) pond then ?

So, this is the first new pond , just how many are you planning for 2008 ? From the pics of your place in DK you will not be running out of space yet

I live in Devon, and have seen this down here. One of the locals actually ties three or four of his prize winners to the back of his tractor and drives very slowly up and down a hill to exercise them.

So which one ? From this picture my guess is the top one.

Hi yes it is, was about 18 in when i got it last July. It's about 24 now.

a purchase at Koi UK me thinks ?

i have seen lots of great koi from koi uk, it was a local dealer that has tried to put me off from buying maurices fish, i will be at the bkks show, i really enjoyed it last year that was my first koi show, so if all else fails that could be my time to invest

The person who said that was wrong!!!! Check out Maurice's chags yourself. There's an open weekend 5 & 6 April. If you can't make that he is bound to be at BKKS National 2008 & I'd bet there will be KOI UK prize winners.
