Hi!

Queen of my pond:





What ornamental fish are in your ponds?

Best regards!   zvone

None I'm afraid Zvone. We prefer frogs, toads and especially the three species of newt we have. No water though this year so wont be many youngsters!
I can appreciate your 'queen' though. Very colourful.

Difficult to take good pics with bad light this late in the evening. They are not very ornamental just hungry

The 'king 'doesn't look too happy Zvone!!
Maybe he's thinking its feeding time! He is a good looking fish, ...... father of many?

Must be a real privilege to have all three species of newt. In another life I would have two ponds - one for fish and one for wild life.

Hi ronm!

He is serious, because he is protecting a queen...

Ornamental fish are not hardy enough to live in my pond. So only wild fish are live there. Many little fishes.

He is very awesome! Queen can sleep calmly.

I do love Koi though it is many years since we had any. Our pond is "just" wildlife now.
I am astounded at the prospect of three types of newt in one pond.... I'd have thought that was very unusual, if only because the greater crested would eat the young of the others?
We have Palmate newts.... lots of them.  

He may not be as large and colourful as a Koi, Olga, but your wild fish is still beautiful.

I kept my pond totally frost free by cycling water from the bottom through a filter and down a wee waterfall. Even in the winter of 2010 the surface remained unfrozen.

The pond is about 1/2 acre and we have the three 'domestic 'newt species. They are most often found, not in the pond , but out and about. I think its the frogs and toads that suffer Maggi, more than the newt species. We used to keep the beautiful 'Alpine newt' when we lived in Bedfordshire. A most gorgeous newt and I think a real stunner. That was 25 yrs ago, not sure it's available now?
