I was out looking for a few starter fish for my pond!  And the pet store had 4-6in Koi on sale 'cheap'! So I took my grandsons with me to pick out a couple of fish!

Youngest grandson( said he wanted the little Orange one -4inches - named it "ZOE"
Oldest grandson(10) Picked out the ugliest fish in the tank -5 inches- named it "NEMO"
I picked out the largest white w/black spots -6inches- couldnt figure out what to name it, then was watching it GUARD the food from the other fish and Named it "MINI MO"  after my dog Moana- she is food aggressive!!

My Grandsons think its great that they each have a fish in my pond - now where can I HIDE the fish food, from the boys??

This is as good a photo as I can get at the moment! They are still shy!! I took it from inside the sunroom as they wont come up to eat if I am out there!!

It's very difficult to get pics of fish  . . . . specially when they are excited!

Congrats on your new fish . . . . and put that food up really high, where the kids can't reach it!

Oh How sweet! My kids adorre going to get new fish! They are even happier when the fish have babies!

Getting the grandsons in on the pond is a great learning experience!!  And if I ever need to repot that plant that is in the bottom - I can just send one of them in to fetch it!!    If I asked, they would be fighting over who was going in to get it!!!!
They have been really good lately arround the pond!! 
The youngest( learned the hard way - I told him to stay off the rocks and skimmer lid - well I was painting the skimmer lid and had it off- he walked around the pond on the rocks-stepped backward (without looking) onto the "missing" skimmer lid and SPLASH!!!  I was in the sunroom and looked out just as he fell backwards into the pond - the look on his face was Priceless!!   Sometimes kids just have to learn the hard way!! 
The oldest(10) is kind of Hyper - but when he is out there sitting on the edge- it kind of mesmerized him watching the fish in the bottom!!!   Hope he is just not sitting there trying to figure out how to catch them!!
