We have two baby fish in the pond this year! I'd given up when I saw four tiny fish, but I've only seen two since then. One is a dappled colour like my beloved Humphrey was who passed away last year (I've called this one Lightening due to promising my three year old nephew I would name a fish after a Cars character!), and the other is an amazing mix of black, white, grey and gold. It has a stunning gold spot across it's head and a luxurious tail like my fish Katherine had (who passed away about three years ago) - I've called it Dante. I love seeing the traits of my first four fish (all gone now ) coming through in each generation...ponds are amazing ecosystems! I've even found some water snails! Who knew they were there??!!
Many thanks to Waterbug who gave me brilliant advice about pond water and testing!
