little fishies

[Oldhead]

So I got rid of some of the floater plants today cause they were getting out of hand and I see a new fish about 2 " long. Just went out to feed them and there is more 2" fish and some 3/4" ones. I guess the goldies have been busy.

goldies are always busy, sadly

We have a herd of baby goldies and shubies some are really pretty

I love to see the little baby goldies and the population seems to be controlled by the bigger ones. A few always survive tho and it's interesting to see what color they turn out as I have solid oj, solid white, and red/white and black ones that don't seem to ever be going to change to oj or ? One black one is prolly 8" long now.

It's very interesting to see what color is going to turn up. This is my first experience with babies. I have 3 goldfish that must have come with some plants last year(originally I have only koi). One turned dark orange in early this June. The second one started turning very light orange about 2 weeks ago. He seems like he's going to have a white belly. The third is still brownish. Who know's what will happen. It seems these ponds are always full of surprises.

i heard a black fish is good luck jw, so you have some good luck in your pond.

Today the little buggers were nibbling on my feet and legs while I was in the pond rearranging the rocks in the waterfall. It feels so weird, like leeches sucking your blood :lol:
Gosh it was warm out today, around 80*. Was sweating like mad. Not used to this heat.
Got it done anyways and fish are happy now w/ the splashing water to play in again
