|
Went out the other day, the Water Lilies were crouding the fountain, and the Pickerels were in a shaded spot, and wern't doing so well. So I did a little organization of the pond. I moved the Water Lilies and the Pickerels to the other side of the pond where throughout the day they'd get more sunlight. I left the area open so the fountain could operate without disturbing the other plants.

I think it looks great! And the fish don't look so little to me!

Great FountainMan! The fountain really has room to breath now. Fishies look happy also. Maybe you can introduce them to us sometime.

Thank you, Havn't rally given the fish names yet. there is this one with a red dot on his head. He likes to give fishy kisses when he's hungry. It's the funniest thing. Sometimes I spend hours watching these guys swim to different parts of the pond. The water temp hit 91 today so the fish were in a feeding frensy. It's amazing how little ice cubes do to the water temperature. The fish arn't stressed though. I keep the fountains and waterfalls running 24/7.
