You'll be well pissed off at all the effort you made only to see it all disintergarte within a year.....

You need a little statue to give it some class

No that would be a 'really big' catfish. Big ones are about 75kg.

Nice work Nooners and the comets are cool.

Good depth. This way it won't freeze down to the bottom in winter. That's a rule here if you want to keep fish in the pond during winter.

Attaining an unconfirmed length of 3 m, the Mekong giant catfish grows extremely quickly, reaching a mass of 150 to 200 kg in only six years.[8] The largest catch recorded in Thailand since record-keeping began in 1981 was a female measuring 2.7 m (roughly 9 feet) in length and weighing 293 kg

Nice thread CMN, would have greened you but you don't like repo. This your catfish?

Nice cover for your pond CMN. The only problem that I see is getting the leaves off of the green canopy. Had the same setup with a few of my veggies. Once the leaves get wet, damn hard to remove.

Hope you don't have any bamboo plants nearby.

have fish in my pond big enough to eat but wife want eat and neighbors call them pets and want eat , now all the fish want to do is eat and make more little fish , you want believe how fast they multiply and my water turns green from the sun causing algae to grow and I hate it but can't right now figure out what kinda cover I want to build , something that looks good and will last a few years and stand up to tje wind and rainy season

That's why I said Really Big. The biggest one I saw was caught by a 70 year old dude at Bung Sam Lang. It wasnt far off 300kg and took him over 1 and a half hours to land the bugger. It still took a load of us armed with towels to pick the thing up for a picy!

When the Fish have nemes , they taste better !!!

The split bamboo will probably start growing soon!
You need some lillies or such to give shade and oxygen to the water. Shouldn't need recirc if you can keep it shaded and some plants in there. Don't put spirella type plants in there, they take over the place.
Shade is the deal, if you can keep the direct sun to a minimum and have healthy plant life the water will stay clear.
Good Luck with the next big blow!
