Sorry you couldn't get that Website to work... You might want to try
http://community.webshots.com/user/ponder_eh I have pictures of The Pond
there but not the 'Ice Out 2003' series.
I'm going to transfer the Fish from the aquariums to The Pond this weekend
come Hell or... another Snowstorm. The Pond ices over every night, but an
airstone can keep a hole open. It is mild enough during the day that the ice
melts by noon. The first Spring I did a complete water change in the Spring,
last year a partial change. This year we had so much rain that The Pond has
already been Flushed. I'm just netting as much junk out of the Pond as I
can... tipping over plant pots... creating conditions where the Goldfish can
Hide by just suspending about one foot below the surface.
I've always just split the fish up amongst three, 5 gallons pails. Set them
outside covered over to keep them in the dark about what was going to happen
to them. Later in the morning when they had cooled down some I would set the
pails in The Pond until the temperatures were the same in both environments,
then - just Slide them in. Never lost a fish yet, but they must suffer one
heck of a shock in the sudden change of water conditions? Maybe I should be
using airstones in the buckets.
Well... a couple of Spam bots found my e-mail address in this Newsgroup -
It is encrypted on my Web Pages - So from now on you'll have to cut the
GRASS before you e-mail me, Eh?
