Plastic Pool

[stevef]

anybody any idea were i can buy one of those plastic pools approx 3mx2mx.75m that i can use to keep my koi in while i clean there pond out??

What the big plastic cement mixing tubs, they are pretty big and sturdy, you can buy them at any building shop.

About 700 baht ish.

Rim, he said 3 meters by 2 meters,,,,,,,,the black tubs used for mixing CC that I see are nowhere near that dimension.

But I agree that those tubs would work in a pinch.

I think a garden supply shop that sells are the do dads for the garden and fountains would be the place

Whoo they really are big boys, in that case feel free to use my pond. I'd love to see them, any pictures? I have about 25 carp in there but the biggest is only about 15 inches.

You can buy them at places along roads which have every type of plastic bins, my 2 are 3 x 2 cost just under 2,000 each.. also can buy them at double that price outside JJ Superstore in the Market, facing the entrance of JJ where they sell the Koi fish

will post some pics later today if i get chance the you will see why i need 3x3x.75 metre to keep them in while i clean there pond the normal size plastic bins etc i would have to buty 10 need one of those kiddies paddling/swimming pools

If you cannot find one, what about a Children's Plastic Swimming pool.

It might do the job if its only to keep them in while you clean out the pond..

I have seen them in the Doorway at Carrefore - Pattaya.

If you use the paddling pool then be sure you cover them, or they will jump out..... I have made covers for my 2 3x2 ponds out of blue pvc water pipe + with bends added a handle then covering it with mesh, still add 2 strips of 4x2 wood with a big washing type bowl of water on top..

Add 2 or 3 drops of Bio-Knock Treatment 3... If you do not have a water filter/purifier then let the water stand for at least 24 hours with just air pumps on.

Likewise after cleaning your pond and you do not have a water filter/purifier let the water stand for 3 days before putting your koi back in..

Good idea while they are in the smaller holding tank is to feed then with C.P OPTIMUM 12% food....... this will bring out the colour.... You will notice the difference, do not feed them this food for more than 3 days or the 'White' on the koi will start to colour... I feed mine for 3 days every month, of the 12%...

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us stevef, stunning!! What more can I say?

[pattaya_girl]

Great photo's. I am not sure if you will get the Food you are looking for here but they are very very helpful and have a great collection of Koi fish available.

Opposite the BPH on the Sukhumvit - Pattaya, there is a late afternoon Market, at the very back of this Market there is a large Fish shop selling allsorts, maybe you can ask there.
