      @@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv yes when he picked Charlie up after the mandatory eight weeks quarantine as he was leaving the owner told him based on the shape of the body and facial features she is most likely female.
      So at this point he knows.
      In any case, it's a beautiful fish, we can leave it at that. Have a good evening 😊

    I chuckled about the siphon effect on your hose. Don't feel bad, I've been around a bit and, yea. I would likely have been out there having a WTF moment myself. I was puzzled myself, as I was thinking "But, unless they had some fastener going in the pond (and the're not that careless), how could it leak?"

    Love this guys, more of the Koi pond please. Omi has real talent, I say that as a fellow artist who still loves to draw, despite most of my time being taken up with large oil paintings. Anyway art aside, love the larger pond idea, shows real love for the fish and hopefully will cause others to think about the fact that some captive fish species will outgrow their artificial environments. Sadly on youtube there are many examples of exotic fish species like Pacu and Arapaima proudly stuffed into aquariums that are way too small for them, you guys are therefore becoming expert aquarists!
