"They call me Mr. Fish!"

Last week I cleaned the pond and used my [early Father's Day present of a] power washer to clean the algae scum off the sides of it.

We counted 16 fish this time (we've lost two in the last six months) ranging from a 3" goldfish to an 11" koi... that we have dubbed "Mr. Fish".

Now that the water is clean, we can actually see them swimming in the pond.

Mr. Fish is the orange fish with black and white spots (in the middle). He started growing the barbs on his mouth about 9 months ago. He was about 7" long when we go him in February '08.
