So you just have snails in your pond? No fish? I wanted a snail but they didn't have any at Wal-Mart so I got a Chinese Algae Eater. |
Hi Margo,
The purple frog is a cement frog. The other purple frog is terra cotta. I painted them (with glow in the dark paint for the eyes on them and the gargoyles). The neighbor's cat was forever getting into my garden, and the glow in the dark paint and spot lights have helped LOL!
The gambusia were put in last May, but I brought them in last month to ready the pond for spring. I've got them in the fishroom being conditioned to go back out to the pond. I put some of my snail collection in the pond to clean it out again (maple helicopters LOL). They're doing a good job right not. The gambusia will go out next week, hopefully have some nice young in a couple of weeks. The pond grew full of them last year. I used to keep goldfish, but they got 8" in one season, and my pond is only 90 g. Guppies did really good in there last year too. Never had a CAE outside, but did keep large plecos outside last year. (sorry about blabbering) Shannon
