Water Soldiers

That's a superb plant in your pond, don't think mine is big enough for it though being a 500 litre pond. sadly my fish are not faring too well, 3 died due to fin rot and the other 4 hovering in the same spot. Think I may turn it into a wildlife pond instead.

So sorry to here about your fish, i lost 3 this year, 2 i had for 8yrs but that was magpie that took them if i had not seen it myself woould not have believed it and the other died after a big thunderstorm, but have 4 fish at moment but only babies at moment, but have a little pond i keep as just wildlife, but not much wildlife go in it. :(

great photo clarice

Thanks Yorkshire fish down at bottom, its raining here yet again:((

and here Clarice.

I'm sick of all this rain Yorkshire had hosepipe ban lifted on Friday, but it still keeps raining, rained all summer again :((

its been the same in Germany, one day nice next day rain, yet we had a glorious day here yesterday, glad to hear the hose pipe ban is off.

yours are looking good clarice... mine are like that as well but get a bit eaten by pond snails round the edges...

looking good carol have you got baby soldiers as i have quite a few on mine ;o))

Hello Carol, I 'threw' one in the pond a couple of weeks ago and its kind of attached itself to a lily pad, lol. I can't reach it to move it so we'll see what happens. Your's looks lovely.

should be ok dawn as when the lily dyes back it will free itself lol sink to bottom in winter to so ray says ;o)

The leaves on mine are actually sticking way out the water this year, had them around 4 years now and never done that before, just floated on the surface, thought I may get some flowers but no sign yet, have mulitiplied like mad too.
Yes they do sink in winter Sanbaz :-)
