Message: [QUOTE="callingcolleen1, post: 152877, member: 4209"] Everything here in Canada just nice, weather could not be better for January, at 37F, or 3C. We have not had the cold weather we normally have this time of the year, but I and my fish are not complaining. Pond Look great, fish look good, resting on bottom of pond. I will get pictures later, tired, worked all day and last night. I wanted to tell everybody that this time of the year I get some very soft very green algae in pond, not very much, but fish like to eat this in the spring. I took some of the soft green algae into my new clean fish tank, along with some of the hornwort that has been still growing all winter!!! Well let me tell you, the new plattys that I got the other day have eaten all the alage up, so I am going to get some more for the indoor fish. The algae that grows outside all winter under the ice is packed full of taste and very healthy for the fish, not like the algae that grows indoors, as the indoor algae is not so very green, the stuff that is grown in low light fish tanks can turn black and blue, and black or blue algae is not good, it is toxic. Take a look at the first picture, that clump of soft green algae has been all gobbled up like it was green cotton candy by all the fish in this tank. See the lovely Hornwort floating in the water, I pulled that out of the ice cold pond the other day, the clump in the pond is just huge!! :-) :-) :-) [/QUOTE]
