They're getting big and getting names

An overview of the secondary pond. This pond has a lot of vegitation that gives plenty of hiding space for the fry.


The lilies are doing exceptionally well this year.


Hard to say how many we have but they are thriving.


This is Big Red. He is among the biggest of the fry. We are seeing probably 15 fish at this large size.



Big Red isn't the only one who has earned a name. We also have Big Yellow, Big Orange, Other Red, Pirate, Momo and Spot. We don't get creative with the names until we decide who stays and who goes. (Momo means tangarine in Japanese. To us it means, that fish with the orange spots.)
