Wanted: I'm ready for a shoal of baby fish to complete my largish pond in Reigate, Surrey.

Location: in Margery GB

All the details

If you have any baby/young goldfish to rehome, preferably black or brown, I would love to stock my lovely big pond. It is now well established and has loads of weed , and waterlilies (nearly half the surface), for fish to hide in, and quite a few newts. Thanks for looking,

Hi. I have 2 Or Poss 3 fish looking for a good home. I think there are 3 but my pond is very murky. They are the size of very large goldfish. Previous house owner told me what type they were but I can't remember. I am in Salfords, near East Surrey Hosp.

Hello. Thanks for your message. I've been on holiday. Could they be koi carp?

I really don't know. They do look a bit like that but as it's the only fish name I know, I would have thought that I'd remember. If you are over this way anytime, you are welcome to look?! No rush as I won't be working on the pond this summer, although like i said the water is murky.

Thanks. They may be koi, if the water is murky, as the pond probably needs a filtration system. As we are visited by a HERON I wanted a shoal of small brown ones. Large red or orange ones are more likely to be spotted by a heron, so for their sake I would not have them. Sounds like you inherited them. Maybe you should offer them to a koi expert (there are loads of enthusiasts!). Thanks very much for thinking of me, anyway. Kind Regards, Julia
