Winter Home

You thought by the title that we bought a winter home?  Nope, just moved the fish into theirs (a 55 gallon aquarium in my laundry room).  Sigh - now the work begins.  In the summer, I don't even have to feed the fish.  Put them outside in May and literally don't worry about them until October.  Now I've got feedings, aquarium changes, water tests and chemicals to think about.  Godspeed spring!!!!! :)

My koi changed colors over summer - he was beautiful orange and white and now he is completely white save a tiny speck of color on his tail - I wonder why that happens?
