My fry and first bloom

[Nova]

This is not the school pond, this is my pond at home. The pond at school is even clearer than mine, unfortunately I think the school pond has a leak. I will check the water level Monday and determine if there is a leak. If so I will have to get with the principal and ask for money to fix it.

I will take a pic Monday to show how clean the pond is and how happy the fish are.

Well your pond is beautiful too! Hope you don't have a leak, if you do some liner some ppl roofing goop will fix most leaks. Clean the liner with acetone before you use the sealant.

The liner is stiff and hard, it was an expensive liner. I will most likely replace the whole liner, this way I will take out all the rocks on the bottom.

That will really help in keeping it clean.

Great pics! It looks like your swimming with them !

The pics were underexposed looking so adding some contrast in Photoshop helps a lot.

Love photoshop, it does help if you have a great picture but not quite right. I don't use it very often but when you do you sure can do neat stuff to a photo

I use Photoshop a lot restoring old photos, creating logos for school and a bunch of other stuff.

This goldfish fry is from my small pond, it has only goldfish. I am guessing this fish will turn all orange by next year but for now it is my favorite. The third pic looks like it's telling, "Get me out of this stupid bag." and the last pic "I told you to get me out of this freakin bag!!" The fish already about 3". When is a fry no longer considered a fry?

according to one site a koi fry is no longer a fry when it is big enough to sale...........

No clue, but I would think over an inch would be end of being a fry.

Very pretty one you have there nova, like the colors.

That is a cool looking fish. Never seen one change like that before. Looks like it has black lipstick on. Would be neat if it stayed like that.

I don't know what others call them but 4" to about 10" I call Juveniles.
