tadpoles!
Ok, I know it's not a big deal but I still get a
thrill when I see these little buggers swarming all over my pond. The minnows spawned at the same time so it's quite the symphony of wriggly black tadpoles and teensy gold or black minnows. On the down side, I lost one of my oldest shubunkin (different pond) - only about 4 years old but that's as long as I've had ponds - and I don't know why. I was cleaning the filter yesterday and spotted it lying on its side in front of the tank, mostly dried out so it had been dead for awhile. Last time I saw it, probably only a few days ago, it looked fine. Gail near San Antonio TX |

I love tadpoles, too!
They are such an amazing critter considering the change they go thru from egg to froglet. kathy :-) www.blogfromthebog.com |

I feed my pet baboon a few all the time. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." :-) ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |
