Pond Time

We moved the fish outside to their "summer home", our front pond tonight. They must love having the room in the 500 gallon pond as opposed to their "winter home" - a 50 gallon aquarium in my laundry room. We transferred them out in a 5 gallon bucket with the "help" of the kids. I have had the same fish for 5 years now; I have wintered them every year in the laundry room. They were about an inch long when I bought them (12 for $1.00) and now they are a good 6-8" in length. I originally bought 4 dozen and I have about 30 left. Not too bad for goldfish!!! I am relieved to have them outside. Since they eat pond algae, I no longer have to feed them (or clean the aquarium) until fall - yeah!!!! :)
