11. April 2010
Our first shipment of fish from Israel has arrived. Their flight was delayed a bit, so there were some casualties. I always feel bad for the ones that don’t make it.

We often get questions regarding stocking fish in ponds and thought we would give a general calculation of how many fish one can have in their water garden.

It is only natural to put fish in your pond for the enjoyment of watching them but the way we feed them depends on the weather. During the cold winter months fish live off their stored body fat and will go into a rest period. What you feed your fish is dependent on your water temperatures. Give them high protein food [...]
