Default The fish are fired!

The fish around here rarely get fed - this is a nature pond.
Today I saw all these black specs on top of the floating camboda
plants. Ah-ha! says I frog eggs! I wanted to bring some up to
the deck pond and watch them hatch and swim around.
Netted out the specs and they didn't behave like frogs eggs.
Brought them upstairs, put them in some water, turned on
the lighted magnifying glass. APHIDS!
Dratted fish should be over there nosing them out and chowing
down! I expect the growth of camboda is too thick in that end of
the pond. Saturday I'll turn the hose on and wash them over to the
clear water and let the feasting begin.
