If you or something else doesn’t put ‘life’ into a new pond, life won’t ‘get there’. You can demonstrate this on a small scale by taking freshly disinfected water in a small basin and covering it to prevent anything from getting in. Disinfected water in a sealed bottle will remain ‘clean’. An open bottle will eventually become ‘green’ with algae and probably other microbial organisms. This is a management problem that is common for swimming pools and hot tubs all over the world. And eventually, in every last one of them, because they are open, life ‘gets in’. (Not to mention the ‘ecosystem’ that arrives when people go for a dip).From the moment the water body is open to the atmosphere, dust with microbial spores and other propagules (bacteria, fungi, algae and other protistans, even some microscopic animals) are ‘blown in’ with breezes or other air movements. Adult aquatic insects will fly in and lay eggs in the water body. Birds may land on it if it is large enough. Look closely at an old bird bath filled with water and observe all the things that are alive in it.If there is a stream coming into the pond, even a small stream, the organisms that were in the stream will find new habitats in the pond. If there is a stream leaving the pond, fish and arthropods can migrate upstream into the pond.Eventually, you may find that muskrats or beavers have discovered your pond, not to mention turtles and snakes. During periods of precipitation when the surrounding lands are wet, you may be surprised to learn that amphibians (mostly frogs and salamanders) also migrate over land for some considerable distance. They will eventually discover your new habitat.But most of the time, unless people stock the pond with different kinds of fish, these vertebrates will be slow to colonize or they may not invade at all. But if they are present, you will likely also see fish predators like birds or even otters, if they are in the area.So enjoy the show. Build that new pond and then watch the pageant of new arrivals as they establish their inevitable presence.

I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anuta’s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.” ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.

Make it compellingQuickly and clearly make these points:Who you are and why you are doing thisHow long it takesWhats in it for me -- why should someone help you by completing the surveyExample: "Please spend 3 minutes helping me make it easier to learn Mathematics. Answer 8 short questions for my eternal gratitude and (optional) credit on my research findings. Thank you SO MUCH for helping."Make it convenientKeep it shortShow up at the right place and time -- when people have the time and inclination to help. For example, when students are planning their schedules. Reward participationOffer gift cards, eBooks, study tips, or some other incentive for helping.Test and refineTest out different offers and even different question wording and ordering to learn which has the best response rate, then send more invitations to the offer with the highest response rate.Reward referralsIf offering a reward, increase it for referrals. Include a custom invite link that tracks referrals.

It’s hard not to get fish to breed in a pond because all the natural stimuli are present at one time or another. As others have mentioned temperature is important but I assume you’ve taken that into consideration. The next thing you need to think about is how to maintain the colors of your collection and for that, you are going to have to cull some of your fish. There is no way around this. You will either have to sell some, give them away or euthanize them. This is where feeder fish come from. If you aren’t selective in what you keep and what you discard your collection will soon revert to their natural colors and form. For your situation, you want only the best fish you can produce. You want fish that are without defect and show the qualities you desire. Be ruthless and discard any fish that don’t meet your standards. High-quality fish, even guppies, can fetch big bucks.

I love Saba, when prepared correctly.Skin side down -- always.It takes a little bit of practice.  Splitting it down the middle is the best starting point.  Using two hands (chopsticks), separate it first, length-wise, criss-crossing the chopsticks at this angle.  Then pull outward, keeping the chopsticks against the plate.  I'll admit the chopstick is not designed for cutting, but the fish is soft enough to separate.  It's more like breaking apart, rather than cutting.(excuse the crude rendering, I"m not an artist)You can then use the same technique to break the fish into bite-sized pieces.This is a matter of personal preference whether you want to eat the skin or not.  Personally, I think this is where all the flavor is, particularly when it is grilled.  However, if you prefer not to eat the skin, usually it is prepared to the skin is crispy enough to remove it easily.  Again using two chopsticks (one in each hand), peel away part of the skin so enough of it is exposed for you to place the chopstick on.  Hold the skin down with one chopstick, while using the other chopstick to gently separate the flesh from the skin.Again, this takes time, practice and dedication to get the hang of it.  Persist and your efforts will be rewarded.I'll be the first to admit the method I described is not the fastest way to convert a fish fillet into bite sized pieces.But that is the enjoyment of eating Saba.  You eat it sloooowly, making it last as long as possible.If time is of the essence, however, there is no shame in asking for a knife and fork.

Well the final sentence confirms this has to be a lazy person’s homework question. And a lazy person who will gain nothing from simply copying somebody else’s answer. So instead - work it out yourself!Google will tell you how many litres are in a gallon. Cation: There are different size gallons. The two most commonly used are the Imperial gallon and the US gallon, and they are signNowly different in size.So now you know how many litres are in a gallon you can work out how many litres are in half a gallon. Then all you need to do is to divide twenty by the number of litres in half a gallon, and you have the number of jugs-full Charlie needs to use.Alternatively you could pick one of the various anwers others have suggested. But how do you know which one (if any!) is correct?

First pump out the water, Then shovel out and dispose of the debris. And alternately rinse the inside of your pond and pump it out. Pumps can be rented, But if you intend to maintain your Koi pond I suggest you buy a pump. Little Giant makes a good one for a reasonable price. In order to keep from clogging your pump get a 5 gallon bucket and drill a couple hundred 1/4″ holes in it, and wrap your holy bucket with filter or landscape fabric. place your pump in the bucket and the bucket in the pond. Fish pond water makes excellent irrigation water for lawns or gardens.
