Hi guys and girls

I know many of you have ponds so here goes...

I am moving house for various good reasons in the New Year, we are going into rented for a few years so I can't take my pond with me, the people buying the house want to get rid of the pond so I am trying to rehome my fish.

I have several good sized koi, some smaller koi, 5 blue orfe, 3 tench, 4 nice grass carp and some goldfish, all told about 50 fish.

They are free to a good home!!!

I can deliver in the midlands (50 miles from coventry) for free or further for diesel money, or obviously you can collect.

Id rather they all went to one place but as there are lots i'll split them into smaller batches if necessary.

If anyone can help let me know i'd like to move them asap before the pond freezes.

If someone is thinking about a pond I also have a pump and filter available that will manage quite a sizeable pond...

thanks all hope someone can help...

You could also offer them on Freegle (http://ilovefreegle.org/ )or freecycle (http://www.freecycle.org/) These are local so you can even meet the people who take them - or deliver them to inspect their ponds.

i belong to another forum that's about fish and have offered them on there as well and should find a home easy enough.

planned move date to Alloa is set for 1st February (am very excited)

Hi there. I am about 20 minutes from Worcester, and have this to offer . Recently cleaned and filled with rainwater, and also can rehome greenery etc.

The middle pond (where they would go) is totally heron proof ( 10 years trial)

PM me if suitable. Happy to defray costs of delivery.

annie if we can ever pin an agent down who doesn't want us to move in right now... i will do.

the property market appears fast moving so will possibly not be able to confirm where we are going till mid jan but i will deff be asking you for opinions nearer the time!!!
