when we were in the garden on Sunday, we removed a ton of leaves from the pond… always makes me think of the lovely neighbours we have had over the years, being as how the tree that sheds those leaves is located in their yard, lol…

there were still numerous ones left, but we were able to dig down past them and catch three fish to bring into the house…

I wanted to do a bit of a test in the biggest tank to be sure that the water was safe for them…

after they acclimatized to the house temperature they made it into their condo…

so far they seem happy and healthy;-)…
