Of course, it might be two males or two females. Haven't spotted any little ones yet... I think this pond is only two feet deep. The fish over-wintered in it last year with no problem. We don't normally have harsh winters here in SC. We have done a lot more to it, but I haven't taken any more recent photos. I will try to do that tomorrow... Dianna

OP Dixie Angel Member Joined: Nov 2004 SC	And here are Samson and Delilah... We bought one of those solar water fountains, but it is not working in this picture. It needs cleaned every day around here to work properly. I haven't had the time with everything else we have been doing around here... Dianna
