Snorkelling the pond...why no babies
Well, I tried it again. I put on the goggles and snorkel and cruised our
pond for about a half hour. I highly recommend it if you can fit and if your spouse/family will not ridicule you too much. The koi paths make better sense from an underwater perspective! After a few minutes, the fish just considered me a harmless giant. If I sat still, they would come right up to my mask. The big koi look really big from that perspective. I need to do that with an underwater camera some time! After the careful search, I saw a total of one small fish that is not a gambusia. Sadly, it may have been a platy. Conclusion: there are precious few goldfish or koi babies. Any theories about the lack of babies, other than predation? I have not sees clear spawning behavior...but then I have not done the night and flashlight thing.
