After restocking my tropical fish tank at the weekend I got to wondering wether its a generic thing. Do many fishermen/women like to keep fish in the home or garden?

 

And before someone says it, no! not to practice on .

Yes (and to your second point yes as well!!) - seriously I do bait test with my mirrors and ghosties (and the pair of Koi), and they do get my leftovers (they virtually never get proper pond fish food!).

Yes, I've a small pond [due to be expanded soon] with goldfish, sarsa comets and shibunken plus a coldwater tank that's about to be stocked with british natives [probably rudd, gudgeon, roach and ruffe]. Mine also get leftover casters and maggots but also "proper" fish food. Once the pond's expanded then I plan to add tench, a couple of koi and a couple of ghosties.

As above Yes and Yes. In fact my wife was the prime mover in making yet another garden pond. Not that I'm not keen, it's just that it's more work for me when I should be out fishing. Trouble is whereas I wanted to put in "proper" fish like carp and tench, she wants shubunkins comets and blue orf (did I spell that right?).

Guess who won.... Still, it's a few more brownie points.

Might even get out fishing one day

Yep, Got a small tropical tank with a catfish and a few plecs, and a pond outside with 7 koi, 2 ghosts and 3 tench. They get a whole load of pellets, they love 'em and quite a bit of koi food as well.

Used to keep tropicals but it was hard to find a place in the house for a larger tank. I now have seven healthy koi swimming around in 2000 gallons of the back garden. All 19 year old.

nice to see I'm not on my own but I have to say that I'm surprised this thread hasn't attracted more of a responce. I guess its more of an exection than a rule.
