Big pond, big koi! Beautiful! 😍 I think the visibility in your pond looks great! Great job Magnus! 💪👍 RIP Pongo. 😢🪦

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks a lot Jay. The visibility thing is hard to catch on camera. When it is really good I can clearly see the black bottom drain cap on black liner 2 meter down. Never been able to catch on camera thou. 😀👍

Interesting video Magnus, so sad to hear about Pong.

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks Marek. 😀👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Very sorry to hear that you lost Pongo, sounds like you made the right decision ☹️. Pond looks good and the remaining fish all look happy😊👍. Stay safe👍🐟🈲😊

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks Phil. It's not an easy desition.

[@KoiRun50]

It must be very difficult. Sorry for your loss my friend.

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks Sid. Yes it was much harder than I imagined.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

So sorry about your fish... That is sad... You did the right thing

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks a lot Chris! It was a hard desition to make and even harder to execute. I know it was right. But you know, sence and sensibility. Heart and brain do not agree.

@@greenmachinesweden I know been there

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Aww that's a shame about Pong. Sorry to hear that Magnus.
The pond at the beginning was cool. Shame about the sudden rain and thunderstorm.

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks Lau, so kind of you. 😀👍

[@Matsuba81]

Sad news buddy sorry to hear that , on a positive note the pond is looking very clear and the koi healthy!

[@greenmachinesweden]

Thanks mate. It was harder than expected. I was thinking on replacing her, but really, that can not be done. And new fish is allways a risk for the ones already in there. One of the fish I got in 2009 is still in there. A locally bred one as well. Just a few season and he will be older than Pongo.
