Ingrid,

FWIW, I agree.

We should never look at our ponds as something "close to nature".

Unless we have a pond like Sam has (meaning multiple thousands of gallons
per fish), our ponds are not and will never be a "nature" thing.

We can all avoid desillusion taking that little fact into account :-)

in the "wild" most of our fish would have been predated due to their stand
out
colors. in the wild they dont get supplemental feeding, in the wild the
vast
majority of GF die. Ingrid

the wild, and the environment they would live in.
