How interesting!
Slovakia.
We have a metal roof here, but I put it on to help prevent damage from forest fires.

Nope pondless .A water feature with out a pond .My neighbor put in one on a hill and it is so nice looking it makes me want to give up on the work on this pond .The water runs down to a retaining area with a buried vault with a pump in it with rocks ontop
Oh thats a shame, it would take a lot for me to give up on my pond, also i see my fish as part of the family now hehe

I have been slowly getting rid of fish ,but have babies again .The original fish will go over to the other house and Mike can take care of them .The pond there is spring fed and is way bigger with only 6 fish in it now .Took Mike a couple of years to clean it up and get the surrounding area cleaned up .I just can't keep up with this property and the house and all the work .I am not getting any younger
well i am quite pleased about getting a twin tailed fry from my goldfish, ive posted a couple of pics in the pond talk section, really hope it makes it through to adulthood, i will keep that one if it does.

Will be interesting if it mates
yes it will sissy, but i imagine that if mated with a single tail then fry will probably turn out as single tail, hmmm i dont know for sure, i will just be pleased to have it in my pond, i dont know how common naturally occuring twin tail goldfish are but i imagine many many moons ago this is how fancy tailed breeds first started.
