What does your pond look like ... Today?

[Faebinder]

Yea, but @bettasngoldfish , look at Faebinder's zone - 7a! We are 5/6! Bummer.

I'm edge of 6 vs. 7. Ohio is definitely worse than here. It's a 450 gallon pond that is only 2' deep. I did use a tank heater that is set to work when temp hits 35 F. The falls and aerator prevented the pond from 100% freezing even when we got 18 inches of snow.

Okay, We do have similar size ponds (mine is 500 gallons and 3 feet deep) I use a pond de-icer and four airstones over the winter and the pond was never completely frozen over (even last winter when we had record breaking cold and snow)

I would love to get a better look at your goldfish if and when you get some more shots

I'll do my best. Gotta catch them all.

So jealous of the close proximity of your pond to your window! It just was not doable in my yard. I have to remove my screen and hang out the second floor window to see my pond and I still can't see all of it that way. lol

Yeah it's lovely until the bullfrogs begin to serenade you with the song of their people.

Ok I tried to get as many as I can. The last has the two bubble eyes next to each other. Wintered well. In the third picture, between the two crystal ranchus you can see an unclear calico goldfish. That's my one eyed dragon. He did well in the winter.

Very nice variety of fish in your pond, I love the chubby fancy goldfish.

As always looks great Colleen! I just love your fish

Thanks Maria! Right now winter back and snowing like crazy! Should not last too long, I hope!

As time passes this view will disappear.............finally got all the ponds flowing, well except the deck pond and stream, maybe get that done tomorrow.
And I pulled from the deep my two hybrid lilies, the purple fantasy, they are growing and survived the winter! So happy

It's nice to have a couple dry days here after so much rain, wind and 24 hours without power earlier this week.
