Early winter pond life...

.and so strange as I could not find any red koi fish in the pond.

It was the great winter pond clean up, and so the fountains were off, and the water levels were low. Maybe the red kois were netted and placed into holding tanks, as that is what I would have done before the cleanup if it was my own pond. I have seen how they net the fish before a tank cleanup in the local pet shops. This is a fairly big pond, and it is always a peaceful time to just watch the water lives of the pond's residents. Even with the low levels of the water, I was still able to get some small fish in the pond.
Come and see.
