Your comets will eat mosquito larvae. gambusia won't live through your winters....

It sure is fun getting your first fish!! I don't blame you for being excited. Enjoy!!! there is nothing I like more than getting home from work and vegging out by the pond.

My favorite time is early in the morning with my first cup of coffee. Sunlight peeking over the horizon and spreading beams on the pond and waking up the fishies.

pcan, they were making babies........
...congratulations Mom!

They don't waste any time do they!!!

I have today off, so I woke about about a quarter to 7, grabbed a cup of coffee and sat by the pond. They were not very active this morning (yesterday must have tired them out). I have always enjoyed getting up early and sitting outside with a cup of coffee in the summer, but the pond brings a whole new level of enjoyment.

Congrats Pcan! I was a new ponder last yr, put in a 1600gal pond...even before I put it in I was already wanting to double it!lol! So your pond sounds like it will be what my pond is for me...my greatest thrill! I too love that coffee in the morn, beside the pond. Also, I had the very same experience with fish really frolicking as soon as they entered the pond...now I have about 6 babies!!! 4 are brown(not even gold), and 2 are shubunkin! I am sure you are going to just LOVE your pond! Happy Ponding!

It is official! They were spawning. A week after putting them in the pond I have little tiny comets swimming around. They are so cute. Now I just hope they can survive the mosquitofish!
