It may be harvest time for the Koi, they are making a mess of the water quality and I worry about reproduction since I have a bass-free pond.


I will be draining a Church's pond and removing Koi that have spawned a few times now. I'd cleared it with Alum, and informed the powers that be, the Koi would likely stir it right back up. Sadly, I was right. Now the church (and the pond budget) doesn't like Koi quite so much!
