I'm taking cod liver oil and vitamin c too. Just working around so many people at work and they always seem to spread flu. I feel way better today. Pain gone now.

Rescued some of the guppies from the front yard pond. Weather is just so mild and now I see poppies are growing again. But December is just around the corner and I want to get them all out by then...

Wow, that's a lot of guppies !!! It'll be interesting to find out if any survive outside till Spring, as I'm thinking you might miss one or two.

 

[j.w]

Yep me too wondering if any will survive and if your heater will survive out there. If it gets too cold won't the heater crack?

 

[callingcolleen1]

We shall see .... I will try to get all the guppies out and will insulate pond good before cold comes....

I have to clean one of the fish tanks in my house with thousands of guppies. I told my hubby "every one will be counted" and nobody will get flushed down toilet.... Ha ha ha

WTH, your water should be below 50 in Canada... how did they survive so far?

I have a big fish tank heater in that 80 gallon pond and have it covered well as nights are getting very cold. The floating tropical plants are still green and show no sign of freezing so that is good. I also have a halogen light that shines in under the plastic dome (which I cover with heavy blankets at night) that provides heat as well,
Uploading another video right now so stay tuned!

Got a new fish tank to replace a small 7 gallon that I had, just so I could fit more guppies!

 

[j.w]

Very pretty and in the long run what the heck are you guys gonna do w/all those guppies? Going into the selling business of them?
You sound like me w/your cough and stuffiness. I finally got part of my voice back but then it comes and goes.
I hope you can catch all those itty bitty baby guppies tomorrow cuz the temps are a falling

 

[callingcolleen1]

Yes I know winter is coming... Will.work on getting every last one!

 

[Tula]

Wow, now you can add guppy breeder to the long list of your accomplishments

So Excited! Going to make a little cattle panel greenhouse to cover two(2) of the upper ponds. Should be easy peasy and quick. Just got the panels home tonight after work, but dark now so will send pictures tomorrow!
