Fed Donald and Hillary the first time

[Jimmy Gibson]

Well I am an impatient sort water temperature is 61 degrees.....after having a little bit of experience with the temperature swings in my new pond.....and the forecast for the next 7 days no freezing temperatures And 60 degrees days.....I gave Donald and Hillary a hand full of Hikari sinking wheat germ food....darn fish are so shy they wouldn't touch it until I went into the house.....watching from the window. They went after it.....hope I didn't screw up but couldn't help myself

If they ate all of it, no problem.

I won't feed mine for another few months, they have lots of food in the pond to live on.

I have to ask - is Donald the orange one?

LOL...I was thinking the same thing! Probably, because the other one has a touch of blonde.

Yep Donald is the Orange one and Hillary is the pale white one with the blonde head..... Sarah and I got them one inaguration day..... even though I am not a huge fan of President Trump or Hillary, I like the fish... seemed like a fitting name.

Yeah I know... patience is not one of my virtues... and they have been grazing on the algae on the rocks by the waterfall...

Thanks. I won't ask again, it could derail things.

So, you won't feed them until near May? Yikes, I start slowly in March depending on temps. By April, the pond usually in full force with bio running one month. Your warmer than my zone. Why so long?
