lanman April 25, 2008 April 25, 2008 OK, Who has a new Koi Pond?????? I would never have posted this.. too bizarre... but in light of the above report. I have a small outdoor pond - about 250 gallons. In the pond I had two goldfish (Whitey and Splotches), and a koi that I didn't buy - named Freebie. Freebie is about a foot long. Over the last month or so the goldfish just up and 'disappeared'. Now maybe they were taken by a blue heron, or something. But.. Last week one day I came home and went out to the pond to clean the pump and feed the fish. I pulled the pump out, cleaned things up, put it back in - but there was no sign of Freebie. So while I'm standing there pondering the possible fate of Freebie - I see him. Not in the pond; he is in an 8x14" square bucket of the type water lilies and stuff come in. Which is full of rainwater. Which is a good 4 feet from the pond. So I pick him up, put him back in the pond, and head out to find my daughter to see what the HECK is going on... She didn't know a thing about it. It would appear that someone decided to steal the fish; got it out of the pond, and into the bucket - and then changed their mind, or heard me pulling into the driveway or something. Pretty gutsy, considering it is in a fenced area right next to my back deck. bob
