Hello every one, when I bough my house it came with this pond it was old and abandoned, I cleaned it up and fill it with water from my well it is a bit salty but not much, sand, rocks and I put a small pump, went to the market and bought 2 fish I think they are carp, they are farm fish meant for consumption, put them in the pond but now after a week then developed these red marks on their scales, I never kept fish like this before, should I be concerned? i fed them cut pieces of or liver once and rice, never saw them eat but the food I put its gone the next day so I am assuming they are eating it, I will put some plants as well in the pond from the nearby river, I hope its in not a big deal for the poor fish. Sorry for the bad camera work I was walking on the edge to get a shot without reflections.

Finally caught my blue gourami in the act. I’m so excited
