Can you direct me to a good source to buy few small butterfly koi’s.

Lost some big palms so I have a great spot for a small 8x4 pond. I just want 4-6 butterfly koi’s.

Wild rock koi downtown is the biggest supplier. be sure to go deep to add to your water volume. Bottom drains are the best.
learn more and ask questions on the facebook page. Its a whole lot easier to build it right the first time.

Anyone ever build a dragonfly pond? I'm tempted to try but not sure I have enough space and not sure what the cost would end up being.

 

[reeftopia]

actually you can build them out of stock tanks,

Hey y'all I have 2 ponds and they are so easy to keep. One is a prefab plastic insert. Other is a hole dug ..then old carpet layer then thick plastic sheet. Ya I will admit the plastic sheet needs a new plastic sheet every 5 years or so. I do not feed my fish while in the pond. There is mosquito larvae and other insects plus algae for the fish to feed on. The ponds do not have a dense population of gold fish. The pond is part of the community. I see birds squirrels and other wild life drinking from it. My ponds have no filtration. Few times a pond season I run a garden hose to change the water. Where I am I bring my fish in during the winter season. The ice cover will trap toxic gasses and kill off the fish.
