I know we are as a good 3-4 months from winter, but how big do the fry

I should explain that I live in the UK, and although I didn't have more
than 1/2 an inch of ice last winter, my pond spends a good 5 months were
the water is too cold to feed the fish.
I apologise if I sound too fussy, but my pond is coming up for its first
anniversary, and I am chuffed to bits that the fish have managed to
breed in the pond's first year, and I guess I feel a bit paternal.

Not very big. When I close up the lily pond in Oct. I'll think I only have
a few babies in there. Come March, open it up and say, "Oh my, where'd you
all come from?" ~ jan
