Even the Fish are coming up to the surface......

Lovely fish you have there like the varigated leaf plant too, is that saying its spring, oh I do hope so.

I hope so too Sixpence......getting a bit fed up with the cold now........

My fish came up today I have not fed them, what do you do Milky?

Youv some very Pretty Fish in there Milky :) R those 2 coloured 1s Koi? :) )

yours are up early M, mine are still not eating yet

Nice colourful goldfish Milky.

Thanks all..Dcr Im not feeding them just yet...its a bit soon...Jacque, there are some Koi there...I bought Ray 4 little ones for his bithday last December...Alas only seem to be 3 now.....Dont know how, as the pond has always been netted, but one has gone!!!!.....and it was a beautiful all white one....

Perhaps he's still hiding down the bottom Milky?

Lovely, my fish have been up aswell yesterday and today, i've not feed mine either to early, start to feed mine late March beginning of April.

hopefully this is a sign of spring coming our way

Dont think it is Dcr....we can see the bottom very clear as its still a newish pond....and I have peered into the depths but can find it.

So sorry Milky about losing a fish, its a mistery where it as gone with your pond being netted, and usually when they die they float to the top, fingers crossed for him.

Well no sign of him Clarice. Ray says that maybe he was up the top and the Heron spotted him and poked his beak through the net, but I didnt think that was possible...who knows...not been that close to a Heron to guage the width of their beaks....

Your Ray may be right, luckely no herons come near here, well now i've said that, one will perhaps come now.

I hope not Clarice......

So do i, Milky:o))

Just a little fish feeding advice for those who wondered......wheatgerm is the thing for when the water is cooler. So at the beginning and at the end of the season it's the 'safe' choice. Their systems slow down when the water is not warm and Wheatgerm is easily digested. You can get it in pellets or sticks. :o)

Thanks for the info Potty, I had heard that was the only thing to feed while the weather so very cold...

glad the fish are doing ok after snow maureen ;o))

Thanks Sandra....

Wow your fish are so colourful, and healthy looking, its surprising how resilient they all are. My husband owns his own fish/tanks/ponds etc. shops . Maidenhead Aquatics usually based in Wyevale garden centres maybe some of his staff can help you out. Our pond is disgusting, considering its his trade ........what a mess!

Thanks Lillium....

like the fish milky, hope you don,t mind me saying this but your netting is too big you really need 1" then nothing can stick their paw or beak in

i caught sight of next doors cat just sat there waiting for one to pass by, i,d left a gap the size of your net 2"to 3" for frogs to get in and out. lost 2 fish. closed it up,no more fish gone and the frogs believe it or not get through the 1" net lol

Thanks for the tip Fumble, but the net is 1inch maybe the angle of the photo makes it look bigger.....

lol,it looks bigger in the pics,haha

Blame it on zoom...!!!! Lol
