I on...(I had a little laugh at Bill's comment!)<br />I once bought goldfish for my turtle who ate a few then promptly went into hibernation. I then had to buy goldfish food to keep the remaining three alive all winter. It was rather nice to see them all together. but alas, one day the turtle woke up and saw food. I missed the goldfish terribly and had to buy more plus another small aquarium to keep them in.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-25564767356049677752013-09-29T20:02:48.345-04:002013-09-29T20:02:48.345-04:00I never thought about having to winterize a pond, ...I never thought about having to winterize a pond, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Hopefully none got sucked up into those big mouths. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-74331651296731556532013-09-29T10:57:00.073-04:002013-09-29T10:57:00.073-04:00I know a few people here in Oklahoma who let their...I know a few people here in Oklahoma who let their fish winter outside. Even though our winters are a lot milder than yours it is amazing to me that the fish make it through the winter.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-54199265531984821512013-09-29T03:40:55.494-04:002013-09-29T03:40:55.494-04:00Hari Om
