I just don't think a barrel is the answer.
They're not that wide and single tails can grow extremely big and love to "stretch their tails" by swimming side to side not up and down. When given the opportunity they are really fast at getting from one end to another.
in a barrel all they are going to be able to do is go round and round - sounds like a goldfish bowl to me and we all know what we think about those
With this topic I'm getting the vision of the kio that was rescued from a tub thing and he ended up with a bent spine from being cooped up - not a nice site beleive me
I know koi are bigger then goldies but i think it's still the same principle.
This isn't a rant - just my view
I would rather keep fish in a larger pond which would be the centre peice of the garden something that you could appriciate and they would love.
My dad has just re-done his garden - he came round to the idea of having a pond but after all his stuff it's far too small a space so I'll wait until I have a garden big enough for what I want and the fish can be happy in
We can only please one person a day, today is not your day and tomorrow doesn't look good either
