Cool! Community ponds are nice - lots of activity and colors, but it can
become problematic if/when meds are needed. Having them separated will make
that easier. Plus it will keep "mules" from happening. And the goldies
aren't as hard on the plants as koi are. Musta been hard to catch all those
goldies in that much water <G>!

I have to credit David, the long-legged pond guy, with doing
the catching! He put them in Rubbermaid container and I
moved them to the lotus pond. I was shocked when he said
the lotus pond was at least 10 degrees colder! Oh MY!
Only one was under visible stress - the white 8 year old! A-OK
within the hour!

Still no complaints from either pond ;-)
