;-) I'm glad your getting the crap weather too, splendid fish, my new pump was supposed to arrive 2day, it better get here 2morr, I can't see my little fish now, so I can't tell how stressed they may be, with the park lake single tail fish slowly getting bigger and maybe territorial (of which there ain't to much) If n when I get my pond clear again I may relocate half of the lake fish but if they seem to get on well together I may leave them until next summer,
I'll be happy to wait for your next pics Yorki when the decent weather comes back

@yorkshire pudding I'm very sorry to hear that you lost your wife. I hope that you find comfort in those quiet moments at your pond, remembering the life you shared together. I would believe that she would be very happy to know that you are still finding joy in life.

thank you @Lisak1 for your kind words.
