Update on the tiddlers.....

Remember?


 We have had the baby fish some time now and the little pond was getting so filthy, we could hardly see them among the muck.  We bought some proper pond liner in order to really clean out this little pond properly.
PJ did all the work (I just helped where I could) emptying most of the water out so the the original liner could be removed.


He caught the fish and placed them in a bowl while he sorted out the pond.  When we looked more closely at the fish prior to putting them back in the pond, we found that one of the fish is starting to colour up!

 It is turning red along the edges .... I know that you can't see it but take my word for it - the fish in the square is growing up!

We  placed the liner in the pot, took it out and replaced it in again in a slightly different position, until it was correct.

Once the liner was correct, it was filled with fresh water and the plants, then came the time of putting the fish back into their clean home.
Once they were safely in their new home, PJ built the wall all round it, even at the back where you can't see.
We gave the fish some tiny red worms as a special treat for all they had gone through!
