My pond is kinda stupid-looking, too, Max.
I just bought some fish for my pond since Hurricane Ivan flooded my platties out to sea. (I live on a bayou.) Luckily, the platties can live in salt water, too!
Pic 1: Floating the fish in Wal-Mart bag for 30 minutes to get them used to water temp. Pic 2: Shortly after I poked hole in bag so the fish could swim out and check out their new digs.
