Our inside watergarden

The first winter after we installed our outside watergarden was very hard. I was suffering from watergarden withdrawl. The second summer confirmed just how great having a pond is. So, at the end of the summer when the stuff was on sale, I bought a small insert. Hubby rose to the challenge, and we have the little self contained pond that you see below.



For a couple of months, we struggled with leaks and fostered benificial bacteria. It took us the next couple of years to get the water to stay healthy year round.



Right now we seem to have come to an equilibrium, and the fish seem happy and hungry. The pale one is a shubunkin, and the other is a goldfish. There's a pure black goldfish in there somewhere too, he's hard to see.







The gold fish is a piggy, but I love to watch him strike!
