Fish all doing well.
The new pump filter is a fantastic boon as I do not have to keep cleaning the bloody thing out. The pump keeps setting bunged up though.
Water barrel tadpoles are thriving!
Sad thing is though my mum’s pond is utterly fucked. About a month ago it was all working wlel…loads of spawn – wlel that is where i get mine from – and the somehow the whole pond went black.
Anyway I said I would clean it out and took it all the way down to the bottom. The black smell of the stagnant water is still in my nostrils! However, we counted 14 massive frogs all choking in the black stagnant mess….And a newt!
There was a little frog spawn and I carefully laid this to one side while I cleaned out the pond but a week or so later the pond is green and there is no spawn. Nothing so sad as a dead pond.
