Red Crab

Thanks for your re-ply Guys! The water in my fish pond is approx. 600 mm deep.

The lake is man made and it's a rain water.

The water must be ok, as there are plenty!!! of fish in it (not koi though). Made a mistake once of introducing a lake fish into my pond and the lake ""piranha"" ate some of my koi! Learnt a lesson.

We have filled up the pond direct with the lake water and then let it to circulate through the filter.

Only one of six koi (approx. 10 cm long) from my last batch has survived so far.

All other were jumping like crazy in the water that is cascading from the pipe, it just looked crazy, my survivors do not do that. Next day they were not eating, became inactive,seating in the corner at the bottom of the pond and that was the end.

Next day floating dead.

No , I did not quarantine them and thanks for the suggestion. Also, I shall change part of the water more often. An equipment to test the water is a great idea, will invest in that.

One thing made me thinking: at the market in the big shop, immediately next to the entrance, the basins were empty,

there were no small koi for sale. Went to the next shop , a smaller one and the seller said something about ""mai sabaj", and yet has sold me the fish. Perhaps they have already carried some disease?

Does that information make any sense?

Thanks again

Well, we got our fish pond going, it's been running now for a about 3 months. The pump and the filter seem to be working fine, the pond is outdoors and under the roof cover, not exposed to the sun.

We seem to be very good at killing the fish though !!!!! Only 3 have survived out of our first batch of 9.

We buy our koi at the Khamtien Market. We did release them from the bag, as instructed, after half - one hrs after immersing them into the pond.

We feed them a little only once a day.

The water comes from the lake and then being filtered. We have changed all water once after the fish have died.

Last week-end we have bought 6 more koi (sml) and all but one have already died.

What are we doing wrong? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Have bought a tin of a Lyle's Golden Syrup at the Yok, today. They did not have it in December.

Thank you very much CMBob, you have provided all information we needed. Cheers

Thanks, Nailrob, I already have got a letter from the bank, Looking forward to further info.

Hi All

has anybody recently applied for a refund on the Tax interest from the Revenue Department in Chiang Mai?

what is the procedure, please?

Thank you for any advice.

I have searched all the usual: Rimping, Tops, Central Festival, only Maple Syrup. Rimping at the Maya had a Golden Syrup (although it said: maple flavoured), but it was runny, and no good for may baking purpose. If desperate, I would have gone with LAND TROUT's advise re: molasses, however luckily , I am getting the real staff from Australia...

Thank you very much for all your information.

HI Everyone, we would like to get going a fish pond. Ours has been built by a previous owner , it is attached to the house is under cover and looks like a tailed mini swimming pool (1.5 m x 2 m).

We have already bought a pump, got it going and filled it up with tap water.

I think we may need to add some chemicals to the water to treat the chlorine?

Now we would like to buy some fish (not big and how many for our size?), and fresh water plants.

What is a good place to do shopping? We live by the lake, would some of the lake plants be suitable for our pond or perhaps it would be better to buy the new ones together with the fish?

Any advice and practical tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dairy and sugar, not necessarily together: Yoghurt , icecream or something very sweet (sugary), perhaps chocolate. Works for my family

46/1 WangSim Khum Rd,by the PIng River.

I have seen some recently at the Baan and Beyond, over the carpark, from the Central Airport Plaza (a new building)

I would recommend a PEAK SPA. I have had a mani/pedi and a fatial done there. They also provide a hairdressing service, but have never used that. Please check their webpage for their services and PROMOTIONS. You can also book online. Very good and professional service and friendly staff. Good luck!

Not a problem, cheers

Where is located a POWERHOUSE GYM, please? How may I contact them?

From Your location I would use ring road 3028, You may go first for a cup of coffee to the newly opened Promenada, and then follow all signs towards Doi Saket / Chiang Rai. Happy to help. Cheers

The Honorary Consul for Australia is located on 118 Rd, going from Chiang Mai towards Doi Saket, on the left hand side : pass HONDA, PETRONASS FUEL STATION, just opposite CALTEX FUEL STATION. The office is located in the ceramic tiles and landscaping yard, you will see plenty of clay figures at the front. Just walk in and ask, everybody knows him. Our Honorary Consul is a very nice ,kind and helpful man.
