My husband is a drum instructor. No problems with the neighbors at all, we
let them come and enjoy our backyard.

Drum room? LOL! Are you on good terms with the neighbors?

That waterfall is just beautiful! I am glad your little fish made it.

not exactly sure but it appears to be about 2-3 feet deep.

We moved here last May. We turned the waterfall off in October (it is an
energy hog, we voted for paying for heating
the house rather than running the waterfall. After some repairs to the
waterfall we will turn it back on probably in June)
no water was being pumped all winter. How on earth did this fish
survive? He
is a healthy size now. Currently he is
hiding in the rocks so no one but myself has seen him. Everyone else in
my
family thinks I may have inhaled too much organic
weed killer and I am seeing things.

How deep is your pond?

I have been outside doing some gardening today. While planting some
plants
by the pond something caught my eye. I saw something gold at the
bottom
of
the pond and thought initially it was a leaf but yet it was too
gold.
So
I
got the pond skimmer and stirred the water and by George it was one
(of
the
12) Gold fish my father in law put in last July!!! Only he is now 3
times
bigger! Can you believe it?!?!? That pond had frozen over with at
least
3
inches of ice in January. We hadn't seen ANY fish since at least mid
August.
I thought that they all died....NOT. Boy I am amazed at how
resilient
this
little guy is. Anyway, I am usually just a lurker here but just had
to
share.

I just wanted to say how beautiful your falls are! Very nice!

I really don't know what 'zone' (as far as the number is concerned) I live
in Clackamas OR a burb of Portland.
The pond may be 2-3 ft. in the middle much shallower towards the sides.
The fish hangs out in the rocks for the most part. Like I said we hadn't
seen not one fish since mid August and just knew that they were all dead.
Looks like we have at least one live one now. Go figure.

I am in zone 5 and my pond is at least 3 feet deep in the middle. My
goldfish survive year after year although the pond does freeze over at
times
and it has been as cold as minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit a couple of times
through the years.

On a good day you can see them swimming around under the ice although they
are not exactly speeding around.
