So warm the fish are awake again....

And looking for handouts.. it was almost 70 here, after a few weeks with
nights below 30 degree temps!

Looks like the next 3-4 days will be the same..

Pond water temp 62F this morning. Macon (20 mi North) set a record
high yesterday. I love warm weather.

We got up to the low 80s yesterday, and
today we're down in the 40s. I run the
filter+fountain when water temp is over 60,
otherwise turn it off.

I think I have 2 dozen babies (comets
and shubunkin) in the one (filtered) tank.
I hoping to give them to a local school
that is putting in a pond designed by the
schoolkids with help from teachers and
a local pond supply store. It would be a
good home for the fish, I think.

========================
Here too and we're having a horrible problem with a GBH. It's learned to
fish through the birdnets where he can reach the water surface. The inground
ponds are fine but he's now cleaning out the tanks behind the house. I'm in
the process of draining them down now so he can't reach the water surface.
He got most of the GF; Shubunkins, Orandas and fantails. With the constant
predator problems we're seriously considering getting rid of all the fish
and letting nature have the ponds. The 720g tanks can be sold or used for
waterlilies. The other problem with the fish are they're no longer
profitable since the market it glutted. I'm sitting here with about 250
beautiful young koi and no market for them.

I'm curious. What do you use for heating fuel in such a cold climate?

Natural gas.

Nope. There is still very little natural gas in Nova Scotia. It's
available in Dartmouth, and parts of Halifax, and maybe a few other places.
Everything else that we pump off the Scotian shelf gets sent to the US
Northeast. Most people here heat with electricity (not an option for me -
see my other post) or oil. Almost everybody has a wood stove, and some
people heat with propane (we cook with it - and our fridge runs off it -
and have an auxiliary water heater for when we don't get enough sunlight).

Colder today!

Mostly sunlight. I have an off-grid, active- and passive-solar home. I
have a small oil stove in the living room, and the heat from that and solar
gain is recirculated through the concrete slab by solar-powered fans.

Same here. I fed mine for the first time in a week, and they actually ate
the food.
