tales of the untrue
I have a small 400 gallon pond in the front of my house, in back I have
a overflowing pot fountain. A couple of months ago I moved a water lettuce plant and some of my way too many mosquito fish into the small fountain to see what would happen. The other day I pulled the lettuce out cause it was making a mess, and there was a fish. At first glance Ithought it was a mosquito fish that I put in, and that it looked blotchy and diseased. I put the lettuce back in and figured nature would take its course. Well, I came back out today, and looked in the pot, and there was that fish. So I figured i would net it and dispose of it properly. How wrong was I. It appears to be a baby shubunkin (1.5") It appears in good health, but is in quarantine for a while anyway. I must say that I am completely blow away. I guess some eggs were on the plants. i have no babies in the front, but with my overstocking, and billions of mosquito fish, I don't expect any... Anyway, quite the surprise. Amazing how strong nature can be. Carl pond photos can be seen at www.cobaltbluefilms.com/koi.html -- -- http://www.cobaltbluefilms.com |
