Re :-restocking yor pond

Sign up to "koi quest" and put in a wanted post . As koi keepers most of us are only too happy to be rid of goldfish/shubunkins etc.
You should easily find somebody in your area.
Goes without saying--when it comes to phone numbers or addys--use the private message system on kq 8)

Hi Graceland
If you are anywhere near Chepstow you are quite welcome to my goldfish. I want to get rid of it having given about six away last year and missed this one. I really want a wildlife pond and it is eating the tadpoles. It is about 6-8" in length.
If you are south of the river Severn unfortunately you will have to pay a toll to cross the bridge.

The petrol to go and pick up some goldfish will probably cost more thsan buying some small ones from your local pet shop. With proper feeding and 10% water change per week they will grow VERY quickly.

 Here babies are only 40 -80p dependant on the size.

Have you looked at the Aquarist Classifieds site?
This link is a recent ad for a 100+ goldfish in Gloucester free (to rehome) if you agree to drain their pond.

On a related note, im in southampton and have a rather large amount of fry available, they should be turning golden this year if anyone wants some throw me a PM as the randy sods are at it again already!!

Have about 30-40 fry can fish them out and even deliver as long as your not too far away :D if no replies in a week they'll go on freecycle.

Cheers Gobby
