I like your fishies! Don't let the "elitists" ruin your feelings for one of
the "kids". I have fish that are pure and unadulterated pond mutts; I also
have a fish for which I paid in excess of $400, and several others (all of
these are Japanese tosai, first year fish "with promise") that ran just a
few $$ less than that, just because they stole my heart. But I don't ask
questions regarding anyone ELSE's opinion regarding them, because the only
opinion that really counts is MINE. I think they're BEA-U-TIFUL . . . so
*there*! If the truth be told, I think the mutts are stronger/healthier than
the fancy imports, anyway. If you like him, that's all that counts.

It's been awhile since I posted, so I thought I'd post some new
pictures of our pond.

We are about to tear the big pond down to install a 4" drain and do
frame work for the pond, so I thought I'd post these for memories
