The activity level in my pond was in overdrive today.
Bumpkin, my midnight blue shubbie, chased Sparky, a white watonai, all around the pond this morning, poking and prodding her. She swam sideways into the bog plant baskets along the margins of the pond, and he followed her there as well, resting beside her on the rocks! What an attentive suitor.
When I returned to the pond this afternoon, things were back to normal. I fear the eggs became a tasty meal, but I am even more fearful that some survived - can shubunkins and watonai make babies? At least I know the genders of all the fish in my back pond now.
