I checked the leaf basket and it was not well seated, it tends to float. I put a rock in it and it sinks fine. I checked the priming pot and there were 3 goldies there all alive and standing on their heads!
I am guessing 2 to 3 days tops.
I tossed them in the pond. Seemingly okay!
The leaf basket not being well seated let them go by and into the priming pot. Lesson learned.
Oh yes, I now see a turtle, chasing a fish. Never saw that before.
