You are not going to believe this.....
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. "broomhilda" wrote in message link.net... What zone are you in and how deep is your pond? 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. "GoldLexus" wrote in message ... 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. |
