Got my fishies

On Sunday I ended up getting 5 fish - one shubunkin about 3 -4" long and 4 smaller fish - one orange and black, 2 black and one shubunkin.

They are still pretty skittish, but I did see the largest one swimming around on the bottom this AM. At least there are no dead bodies. That's a good thing!

Now I just have to get the landscaping done. It looks like an abandoned pond!!

Good for you! Your fishies will keep you motivated now;) They'll be following you around the pond in no time. Wonder how long those two blackies will remain black?

OMG.. no, it is just too hot to go out playing in the dirt today!! About 95 when I got home from work.

Molly, the female I had who died, was black from the day she was born. I called her my stealth fish. I couldn't see her until she came to the top to eat. I only once or twice got pictures of her. I don't know if these two will be like that or will change to orange.

Here's Molly and Ito.... RIP
Another shot of Ito and Molly

Here's another favorite. Molly is to the right of Ito. You can see just the top fin, part of the tail and her back:
This is the strangest picture.  It looks like Ito is in the air, not the water.
