Thanks Heng.

the pond has been soaked, washed with pineapple, soaked and washed again several times. will definately do the ph test. but so far there's 3 tester tilapia(hardy) in the big pond, some swordtails and guppies and mollies in the fountain. they all seem to be doin fine.

made the pond bigger? hmm, it's a bit tricky. if u see carefully, the fountain and the river is directly above my basement carpark. we have about almost one feet of soil there just for the grass. The pond just clears the carpark. and beside the pond there another tank underground measuring 8 by 8 feet by depth 3 feet. this tank is a reservoir for mountain water for the sprinkler system.

Well, here's the thing. though i'm into fish keeping but i didn't quite intend that for this pond. the idea is, the pond is the main thing, not the fish. the fish is only to accesorise the pond. i'm probably gonna put 3 kois and 2 kelahs maybe. that's the max i would go. so u get the idea.

i'll definately look into the forum. and besides, what's kichis?

Hi ppl,

I have just acquired a batch of imported mix a little of local kois, all in there are 60 pcs and I am letting some of them below market price, they range from 12" to more than 2 feet long.

Hi Guys,
I'm a koi pond lover here. My pond has a dozen of local koi, 2 gold fish, one albino Oscar, two dozen small guppies…yeah it’s a jungle 
I had a problem with a badly designed pond which made the filter unmaintainable as per picture below, the water just splash down in the middle of the space before falling out of two waterfall hole.

As any aquarist would know, filter system and filter maintenance is the first thing to think about when having a pond. I didn’t do any calculation or whatsoever regarding the filter requirement per gallon of my pond.
But after some brain storming, I came up with a fiber sump filter to put in the space behind the pond. You can get this fiber sump filter at aquarium shops in jalan pasar or eng hin aquatics in Taman Bolton. I did a custom fiber job from kedah because I stumbled on the readily available fiber sump after I already paid for the order lol but no regrets as the custom job is way sturdier then the one I saw in shops and the size fits the space behind my pond nicely. The size is 3.5ft, 1ft, 1ft.

See self-explanatory pictures below, I put k1 in the first compartment as it floats and a standing sponge filter, this is to trap all the dirt and waste, it will then flow through downwards on typical coral, bio ring and some rocks. In the last compartment I put carbon bags just to absorb all the ammonia and smell from water. There is also a UV light to kill all those floating algae, as my pond receive direct sunlight, most area in pond is covered by algae, that type of algae is no problem, the problem is with floating algae that makes your water green and murky. UV light is a must for direct sunlight pond unless you don’t have too much fish.

I gave a lot of thought to this design, as the sump will be submerged by 19cm or water depth to the waterfall outlet, hence there will be some backflow water to think about, so there is two (2 in) outlet in last compartment, and I raised the sump filter by putting some brick under it. This is to make sure the pressure in the sump higher than the one outside. So water can easily flow out.
Sometimes to repair a faulty pond is way harder than to design one properly before start. I have encountered so many ponds that have green, murky water..it all usually boils down to filtering system.
Water is very clear now
Feel free to comment 

nice one , hope to have more picture being shared here

Hows your pond now?

After filter installation my water is crystal clear lol...at night when bukak lampu can see all fish

Some reading on the net says at first it will be clear, after 2 weeks cloudy, then clear back.

mine after i seek proper "know-how" guru, Alhamdulillah much better. My only problem now is that my water pump is getting older already, so happens that sometimes when there's a power shortage or blackout, the water pump cannot start itself. Need some manual intervention

lost a few of my fish due to this during festive season.

are those small fishes that feeding arowana koi fish?

yup, baby koi, low grade one

Hi, any of you using automatic food dispenser for your kois? Leaving for CNY soon and need to find a way to feed my babies!

Aquatic plants

Let's talk about Koi crossbreed goldfish.
I'm concern that those RM5 Koi are cross breed with goldfish (those goldfish that feed Arowana)

Why is RM5 koi so cheap? I'm comparing with some A4 or AAA grade RM15-30
To me, i bought both, it looks the same. & some of my RM5 even looks prettier than those RM20++

Regarding animal always like that bruh....
If your pond is small, normal pudu breed good enough

Japanese kois makes a real difference when they are big, well taken care off.
they are also more "jinak" local koi can also be trained but not as easy.
Same with cats, overseas cat act cuter/smarter then kampung cats, probability speaking lah

Biggest mistake as an pond owner, is having itchy fingers in adding fish...cant stop buying stuff to "experiment"
it the end your pond filter cant handle the bio load.

This does not happen with cats for me...as taking care of one is a big commitment itself hahaha

choose depend on your wallet.
