It appears that the fish have been reproducing and are in general good condition . The owner actually had a very nice set up ,but it got to much for him to keep up . This video also demonstrates how to maintain a fish pond very nicely . Thank you for great video

    I've had a a small pond since 2010. Half the fun is trying to figure out how to fix problems. I got round the ammonia problems by routing the outflow from the filtration system through a bed of marginal plants. Native Iris are easy and very efficient. The set up in the video would easilly convert to that system. But I realise that this is not your pond and your care may only be on a temporary basis.
