Finally, it is now cool enough to really get some things done in the pond. Starting new plants, moving fish, some of you even preparing for your koi to spawn. Last springs koi are by now headed for market and it will soon be time to shop for baby koi. Look for good quality Japanese koi at the Fish Shack soon.
Also with cooler water temps, you may feed a little extra Pond Premium Koi feed. Remember Maui koi don't hibernate like their mainland cousins, actually they need to put on weight for the spawn. If you're serious about breeding koi, it's probably time to switch to Super Koi now to get the most from your females.
Lotus fanciers, lotus will soon be available along in Febuary. Victoria waterlilies to follow a little later in the season.
As always, we have a bumper crop of tropical waterlilies to dress up the pond for the holidays.
Happy Holidays from all of us at the Fish Shack, Maui's Waterlily Farm.
Oh and don't forget our pond cleaning service!
Aloha, Dennis and Luana Mitchell
