These little guys were found swimming around in the big pond last weekend. If you remember from last Fall, Brian took the fish out since we expected it to freeze solid over the winter. We kept some of them inside in a fish tank, and the excess went back to a local fish store.
Likely due to our early heavy snows, it ended up insulating the pond enough so that these little stragglers could survive. Amazing really! They must have hibernated and ate algae over the winter. The other fish are still in the house. It is a little cold yet, so we will let them stay in the nice warm house for another month, probably.
That is amazing. What a nice surprise. I am glad they survived the winter.
How amazing is nature? You realise the bunch you left in the house will promptly die as soon as you put them back in the wild? 🙂
