Bomb Cyclone Part 2 turned out be be a bit of a dud but we still got plenty of moisture out of it. Because of that storm we are rescheduling the Build A Pondless Waterfall Seminar originally scheduled for Saturday, April 13 to Saturday, April 20. We still have spots available if you'd like to join us for this hands-on seminar or any of our other seminars listed below!

This month's newsletter includes information on how you could win a FREE pond installed by The Pond Guy himself! Also included is an interesting article about koi spawning, a really nice comment from one of our customers, a product update and this month's Aquascape video.

Happy Pondering,

The True Pump Team

Why Are My Koi Fighting?

If you notice your fish being rambunctious in the pond during the spring season, you might assume the koi are fighting with one another. In reality, just the opposite is true. Your koi are spawning and it can be quite a sight to behold!

Koi are river fish with mechanisms developed for river life, which means that when it comes to producing offspring, they scatter their eggs everywhere rather than laying them in a neat and tidy nest like other pond fish. The mother and father koi never give their fry another thought and don't provide any after-care. In your pond, all the same stuff happens as in a river, but you get to see more of the intimate details!

Product Update

We will have koi and aquatic plants available for sale by May 3 at the latest. Keep an eye on Facebook for the exact date.

We now have all the Aquascape color-changing LED lights and accessories in stock! They hook up similar to the white LED lights but do require a color-changing hub so you can control the colors. A remote allows you to program in a single color or have the lights rotate through all the colors. Check out this video of the new lights in action.
