..and the water is COLD! Brrrr.....
I did cut down the lilies and all the marginals as well .. some of the plants in the mud pond are still untouched by the "cruel scissors"..
The fish have been eating "easy-digest" food for a couple of weeks - they are pretty fat actually and seem to be in good shape for "hibernation"
I shut down the pump at nights but let it run in daytime when it's warmer.
Do you shut down your pumps during the nights when temperatures drop?
Or do you let your pumps run 24hrs?
Here are photos of today ..
