I am a fishy mom!

[addy1]

In our HT pond, I put lilies, different marginals, parrots feather, mares tail, this and that. I also bought 9 small fan tails, they are small, around 2 inches maybe in size. The fan tails are calico and white with a red head.

Well today I was looking into the water and to my total surprise, I saw tiny fan tail babies. About 1/4 of a inch swimming around. Tried to get a picture but they hide fast. No clue how many.

Never thought those tiny fish could or would spawn.

Cool when you unexpectedly find babies

As always your ponds/gardens/yard is beautiful.

A bit on the wild side, if a seed lands it gets to grow. I do keep a path open to be able to walk through all the stuff.

I like things a bit on the wild side.

I love the pattern on the lilly in the second pic . crazy , is it actualy a hardy lilly>?

It's crazy I was looking into the pond the other day and I saw the usual mosquito lava swimming around and the usual other twisty and darting little plankton, if fresh water fry are called plankton. any who what do I see but can't be more then a 1/8" long fish then two and three. Crazy the pond is only what a little more then 8 weeks old and it's full of life. so glad I created this eco system.

They don't have a chance in my ponds or yards. We seldom even see a mosquito in our yard.

That is a plant with real pretty yellow flowers. Yellow snow flake, bought it where I bought the fish. so it survives here, hopefully. It either floats or can be planted. Love the leaves, it grows great!

They are so darn cute, with their little tri tails

I have had fan tails in the 1000 gallon tank for years, no babies, they are with shubbies.

Congrats on the new babies!

Your whole garden is beautiful!! I love the purple and the pink Lilies, and the yellow snowflake plant, are they hardy?

 

[sissy]

Wow how neat and happy for you on the new babies and your plants all over the property are growing beautifully! Love the lilies in bloom and that cool looking Snow Flake plant.

The purple is a hybrid, dear honey paid 125 per for them. They are slowly making tubers. I make sure they are sunk deep over winter.

The yellow snowflake was grown at the fish hatchery, so it should survive here 6b.

The pink survives everything.
