So far so good but winter is not over in Elgin. We have a heater in the pond to keep a small opening for oxygen to get in and gases to get out. We made the mistake of naming the fish after the grandchildren that picked them out. One day Mr. Blue hernon paid a visit and Spencer and Erik were never seen again. We now have 15 fish and only 2 of them have names. We start 4 years ago with 4 and with only 1 rescue fish we have grown to 15. They say they can come in on ducks feathers or plants you might buy so don't buy any more fish. We usually have 3 batches abou 2 surive if the frogs and other fish and hernons don't get them. I know how much fun & relaxing it is to watch the fish. Can't wait for spring in Elgin.<BR/>RobertaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-30644393261460053102009-02-10T18:06:00.000-05:002009-02-10T18:06:00.000-05:00I can't believe you found the commercial on YouTub...I can't believe you found the commercial on YouTube!

How delighted I was to learn that at least 3 of them are alive and well and with lots of babies. Hope your turtle is still around too!Nocturnal Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03273814801469861862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-87805448594500462792009-02-10T11:42:00.000-05:002009-02-10T11:42:00.000-05:00You have babies, too?

Babies are held in big tanks in the basement till spring but the adults are perfectly fine outside.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495753587207547865noreply@blogger.com
