Big fish, little fish

Printer-friendly version

I was delighted to see one goldfish surface a couple of days ago, proof that the heron that passed by in the fall had not eaten all the fish, obviously only scared them into their winter quarters early. Today I was surprised to see a little black fish, about 2 cm long feeding on something just under the surface of the water in the pond. That has to be an offspring of the goldfish which have lived in the pond for two years, which ranged in colours from solid orange to white/orange to black/orange. Now I am curious to find out if any more have survived, especially if there are more juveniles.  - Daily trips to the pond are in order, rain or shine.
