One of my small loop ponds, the first one in the loop, the lily pads were totally eaten by the deer. I was making sure the deer had not knocked rocks out of place, when I spotted around 13 +/- 1-2 inch shubunkins in the pond. The only way they got there was via sucked into the pump, as eggs or fry, fed down a 50 foot piece of garden hose through a hose bib, water falling into a small pond. It is around 2.5 feet deep no clue on gallons.
The subbies are beautiful, real dark in color, bright red and oranges. I need to try and grab a picture. Without any lily pads to hide under they are easier to see.
Before winter I am going to attempt to remove some. That pond does freeze up no pond breather is put in it.
winter shot, can't see it easy right now
