Squashed

My hes is Handsome Toto & so Big like u say ! Its sad u dont know any 1 local who will take him off your hands :/ Have u put some Notes up On Local Shop Boards? Free2Good Home Only ?

Added him to my favourites

That's a big one :o)

I'm worried that if I advertise him Jacque, he may end up somewhere he is not as well off as I'd like him to be. What I'd really like is for him to go to a public pond where they don't allow fishing.

Hope you find him a good home Toto

So do I Bonkers. I think it's cruel to keep him in my tiny pond now that he's reached the size he is.

Have you tried your local council parks department Toto ? Maybe someone there could advise you....

Thanks Bonkers, I'll give it try. Actually I know someone who works in the Local Council Parks Department so he may be able to point me in the right direction.

Hope so...please let us know if you have any joy

I will do.

Wow...he is a beauty Alan...great job raising him..hope you can find a good home for him....he is not an SAS fish is he now....?

Wow. He is a big boy. I hope you find a good home for him.

No Cat he is not a flying fish. Thanks Gilli so do I.

Ooh was a fabulous fish Toto...I bet you will miss him tho when you rehome him....how about looking on google to see if there are any pond sites that may like him too.

Hope ul have some Luck Toto in finding him a suitable Home soon plez lets us know like BB says :)

I will miss him Janey but it's not fair to keep him in such a small pond. I will let you know if I'm lucky. It will do both the fish and the wildlife a favour when he is rehomed.

Well Toto...you just never know!...wish you luck with him...he seems a bit unconcerned in this shot...

Yes Cat he does but I can't help it, I'm a real softie and I don't like to see him all cramped uo.

Can't blame you..he dosn't know what he is missing..so will be very happy when he gets a chance to know what that is.

Have you found him a new home Toto?

I did find him a new home in a very large pond, owned by two very caring people, unfortunately the man died a couple of months ago buthis wife still lives in the same place and continues to care for the land and the pond.

Glad he got a new home Toto. I have a koi carp who is about 12" long and my pond is not very big, I've been a bit worried that he may be too big for the pond too, he seems happy enough, what do you think?

It dpends on you Skillen. I don't know much about them. I do know someone who keeps Koi in a pond no bigger than about 4ft x 4ft but the pond is also about 4ft deep. I think it is wrong but who am I to say?
My carp was 21 inches long when I measured him before he went to his new home. Although I worried about him he did seem perfectly happy. I prefer to keep my pond for wildlife now as at least whatever decides to make it's home there does so by choice and there are no fish except a few sticklebacks to eat the larvae and young of other creatures like damsel and dragon flies and frogs etc.

Thanks Toto, I tend to agree. Our pond is about 7'x4' but not very deep. Never seem to get any frogs or dragon flies etc - maybe they're trying to tell me something lol.

The fish will definitely eat the larva.
