y' know ... I was thinking about Anita
(last name escapes me) claiming the in-pond bog was a new "concept" ... (she's the gal who "invented" it) Looked almost as bad as my veggie filter did when I went ahead and added gravel to it. I meant to mention this to the "inventor" but never got around to it. She claims it never needs to be cleaned ........ humm Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Bonnie Espenshade" wrote in message ...

Not much savings, but hey 5 bucks'll spend. I subscribed  "Nedra" wrote in message thlink.net...

bubble eye goldfish
Hi Everyone,
I don't know if we just got lucky but last fall a friend gave me a few goldfish and two bubble eyes. I put them in my pond with my koi, goldfish and shubunkins. We had an extremely cold winter here on Long Island, New York. Fortunately both bubble eyes survived the winter. In mid spring I had to move them to a smaller pond because one of them was getting knocked around by the larger goldfish while spawning. Last week my hubby saw two bubble eyed babies in the smaller pond ( 1200 gallons ). Both adults are doing fine. Lucy
