He brought me the water lily and the cement bricks ( so the fish can hide) from his own pond.
He got them out of the tank and put them in this bucket, then he poured water from each tank back and forth for about an hour to get them acclimated.
See them at the bottom? They wouldn't swim out...
Yeah we're free! The Orange one is not named. Suggestions anyone? Spot is on the right. Spot is last remaining one of the original group we bought. HE used to have a huge spot on his head.
The three Amigos. Spot has the most gorgeous tail. long , flowy and colorful.These fish are my babies. I feed them twice a day like clockwork. When I wake up in the morning they are lined up waiting for me. If I am too slow Spot will toss rocks at the glass.
Look at that fabulous tail !
We had to put bird netting over it because we live in a high raccoon traffic area.
See post here...
God forbid something happen to one of my fishies because of those pesky raccoons! Oh the horror! I hope they appreciate their new digs !!!

Very nice! You are inspiring me to get more damn fish, which cannot be good.
Stop it
Oh, they are so beautiful! I love your new pond! We are in the process of making one in our back yard (I say we and I haven't done a thing, it is Eric and Hayden's little project). I can't wait until it's done. Have a great day girl!
Hugs, Shar
