I have a 3000-4500 gallon pond with around 8 medium sized koi and some 4-5 inch goldfish. We were thinking about bringing in some turtles but i just wanted to know if turtles would eat the fish. if not are there any types of turtles you reccomend?
my pond is usually 50-60 degrees in the summer. when it is frozen in the winter what do i do with the turtles?

Bob E asked:


How do you clean the moss out of a 100 gallon pond without draining it? I currenlty have no plants or fish in it. I plan to add these but I want to get rid of the moss build-up before adding these additional features.

My pond has gotten darker/murkier than normal and perhaps coincidence, perhaps not, my fish do not come up to the surface to eat like they have in years past. I’m using the same food I have used for years…any ideas?
