Default Too Early to put Water Hyacyinth (sp?) Out?

Ya know, I had already thought about a fish. Specifically a betta. But
I really like guppies, too... (On that note, can guppies be put into a
pond? Provided they don't get eaten by the larger goldfish....)

As far as my over-wintered WH, it's jus' in a glass "vase" with a solar
powered water pump to circulate the water around. In a south facing
window and I change the water when I feel like it and when I think of it
and when it looks like it may need it. So far, so good; though, the
leaves are a bit pale. I blame the paleness on lack of proper sunlight
for photosynthesis which is why I wanted to stick it outside....

Guess I'll wait a while before doing it for real...

You might put a betta in the glass vase to give the WH a little fertilizer
(if you don't have fish in there already). That could be why it is
pale. ~ jan
