Going to a new home

Is this fish a Mirror Carp or something different?

Yes Tina this is a mirror carp. My pond is only small (about ten feet long by seven feet wide at it's widest point and only about two feet deep). He was put into it by a neighbour many years ago as a baby of no more than about four inches long. He is now of a size (about 21 to 22 inches long and very plump). I believe it unfair to keep him in such restricted conditions and have been looking for a home for him which is larger, not open to fishermen and is owned by people I believe will care for him well.

good to hear that he is going to a good home

Thanks Irish, I was beginning to think that I wouldn't find a home for him which would have meant him staying with me as I didn't like the idea of him going to a fishing lake.

Wow,he certainly is a fair size Toto.! So glad you found him a good home.It sounds perfect,and good to know he settled straight away !

I like stories with a happy ending :) I'm sure he is happy showing off to the goldfish!

Thanks to bothe Bonkers and Gee for your comments. I think your right Gee, he did look a bit like he was strutting his stuff.

Sounds as though he has made friends already. and he will have plenty of space to strutt his stuff lol

Seem's that way Pansy.

Hes Gorgeos Toto :)

Yes Jacque. Much as I hate to see him go, it is for the best. He now has a much bigger and deeper pond to live in. I believe that if you keep animals, they must come first, even when you could put your own feelings on top.

Oh that's the answer to my question Toto! Brilliant well done - I'm sure he'll be happy there. :~)).
