I have added some Melafix to the pond. Hence the bubbles. That is a natural tea tree oil remedy that will get rid of harmful organisms. Sometimes there is a problem after rain with bits of debris polluting the water. Many of the goldfish are older now and less robust. Plenty of youngsters though from two seasons ago.

Playing in our fountain
We have two fountains. The dragon is the Guardian, although it is silent apart from the rush of water. The bubbler cleans our pond, sucking in the water and filtering it then spouting out fresh water full of oxygen. We love to swim there.
Rainy Day
The raindrops keep splashing into our pond water. We dart towards each drop, full of excitement. But there are so many raindrops! The sky above is dark.
Our faithful pond dragon tumbles water from his mouth to join the raindrops. We are swimming for joy.
A New Baby Fish Joins Us in the Pond
Newsflash: Today a little fish swam into the pond. We don’t have a picture and it may be difficult to get a picture. The little fish joins our small black fish, born in the pond.
The new fish was also born in the pond, but raised since last December in a small pond.
All the other babies passed to the Shining Waters, so this little one was left alone. The Food Bearer decided little one couldn’t stay alone in the little pond, so the tiny one swung in a net through the air and found a new home with us.
Waterlily
These are summer pictures. It is winter now and we don’t have waterlilies in the pond.

Our Offspring
We haven’t posted for many weeks. The food bearer favours the cat and he has many followers.
But we have exciting news. We have seven offspring the food bearer is raising in a separate nursery. In the summer mating season our beautiful Wave mated with several females, who deposited their eggs on a plant that was only in the pond for a week.
The food bearer, Lynette, keeps some of our plants in water filled buckets in the sunshine because The Pond is shady. She found tiny fish had hatched from their eggs and were swimming around in the bucket. More fish hatched and after a few weeks she moved them to a larger container near The Pond. With hot summer conditions she changed their bucket water often to keep them cool. They are eating brine shrimp and a little bit of flake food.
