Tamus:
I think the "Soroso" are actually Sarasa, the Japanese term for veil...I think they're an offshoot or high breed of the common comet... I had them in my shallow fountain pond and they did well... They're usually red bodied with long gracefull tail fins like a veil, hence the name...
As I mentioned in my other post, we renovated our pond in 03, what I didn't tell you was that it was built in 1968, for koi...However, it was too shallow and I didn't have the proper filtration that is available today... Knocked the bottom out in the mid 70's, and waited until I retired in 1998 to look around for a easy to maintain filter system...Still took 5 more years before I got it up and running... So you see, there's no rush...Enjoy what you have, and someday you'll build that proper pond, perhaps when the kids get older and can help you...
Our new ponds (2) have been a great retirement project...Here's another incentive, when the kids are out of school and out of the house and on their own, you'll be surprised how much "extra" money you'll have...But enjoy um while you can, they grow fast...
