Goldfish and Duckweed - two kinds

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a Dick with ears? Well if not, you do! Well I am of the belief that your still a ****ing asshole. "Koi-Lo" Reply to NG Only wrote in message ... *Note: There are two "Koi-Lo's" on the pond and aquaria groups. wrote in message oups.com... I presume there is still some expertise here in spite of the garbage so I would like to expand on the duckweed thing. If it were not that several people here and elsewhere have said goldfish eat duckweed, I would have written it off as nonsense. There are TWO kinds of common duckweed. The smooth leafed one is readily eaten by both goldfish and koi. The frilly leafed one is not. I bought 16 feeders yesterday and have spent a good deal of time studying their behavior and conclude that I have indeed been snookered. On the rare occasion that one came to the surface, it simply looked around and sounded again. It is hard to believe that 1600 or even 16,000 would have the slightest impact on the duckweed populaton. Which duckweed do you have? Frilly edged or smooth? Does anyone have any experience in this regard with a real (natural) pond? Thanks, -- Koi-Lo.... Frugal ponding since 1995.

Frilly edged or smooth? It is commonly known as Great Duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza According to your description, it should be readliy eaten by the gold fish but is totally ignored. =============================== Both my GF and koi, fed twice a day, will eat every speck I toss to them in minutes. They will not touch the frilly stuff. I grow duckweed in tubs outside the ponds or they'd eat it all. Even the indoor fancy GF eat it in minutes. How can you know they're not eating it when your pond is so huge? They come up under it and take a mouthful at a time. They would have to be right where you're standing to see this, so don't get discouraged. You wont see much of a difference with only 16 average size GF in your large pond. If you can afford them, get a few half grown koi. They'll make a difference a lot faster. :-) -- Koi-Lo.... Frugal ponding since 1995.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're not bothering with the duckweed yet. Despite common belief that goldfish are herbivores, the truth is they prefer protein from aquatic insects over grazing on algae and duckweed. Since you just introduced fish to the pond, I wouldn't be surprised if it's stocked with all kinds of far more preferable things to eat. -S |

Maybe in a crontolled co untry like Canada and a controlling state like CAlifornia, things like this may be illegal , but its certianly not the case all around the usa by any means.........a natural pond is allowed fish or whatever speices you want to put in it in my area, as long as approved guards . barriers are inplace. I love it when folks do not know the ****ing answer and have tp imediately point out legakl issues, when legal issues was not the original quesiton any how...........typical crap from a bunch of ******s without a clue.

The provisions of this rule shall not apply to the incidental release of bait into the water during the normal process of fishing. http://www.outdooralabama.com/Fishin...-stockings.cfm Where it is a bit unclear (to me, at least) is the case where private waters (ponds, springs, creeks and the like) flow into public waters or are in the drainage basins of public waters.

Private waters asshole, and allprivate waters are those that are not able to flow into naturally occuring streams and rivers.......UNLESS a proper baricade is installed.............look it up, its there, it even covers flood plains where one body of water does not connect to another unless a flood occurs.........If it was illegal as yu say, then thoe folks raising lkoi and goldk fishin the Pea river area would be out fo business, as they utilized waters from the pea ribver for their fish farms............and koi and gf are not native of Alabama...... Same thing for the Tilapia farmers, off Pintlala creek, and the ALABAMA river...those fish sure are not native either.....Private constructed ponds on your own property yoou can put what you want in them, and a dug pond with a dirt/clay bottom is still classed as a natural pond here......so donpt say its against the l aw untilyou know what the **** yur talking about. Besides perhaps you need to worry about your area and not alabama since you do not live here anyhow....

Thankfully Alabama or most of the uSA is not even closely in tune with what Canada considers correct.......wrong is not the issue now is it Dereck..Its wrong to **** on the neighbors grass, but its still done, and its wrong to spint on public pavements but its still done, yet nothing is ever done about it either......I kjnow what I am talking about that concerns Alabama and how things are done here. I could give a rats ass about how they do it in canada, in Florida or up uynder the freaking queen mums skirt.......It matters not to me......but your worng about what can and can';t be done in Alabama About like your stance with advice given to Carol Gulley...............****ing dumbass On Fri, 09 Jun 2006 13:55:41 -0300, Derek Broughton wrote: Galen Hekhuis wrote: On Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:29:20 GMT, (Roy) wrote: Maybe in a crontolled co untry like Canada and a controlling state like CAlifornia, things like this may be illegal , but its certianly not the case all around the usa by any means.........a natural pond is allowed fish or whatever speices you want to put in it in my area, as long as approved guards . barriers are inplace.
