The pond was tuned up a little bit today and the net was taken off while the work was being done. I also found out where the pond was losing water! Hooray for that! I wish I could get a pic of the cat fish. That thing has got to be two feet long, no kidding.

The little bitty ones are mosquito fish. I think they're a kind of natural cleaner for the pond, eating mosquito larvae and algae.

I was wondering if they where. :)

Goldfish/Koi will also eat the bugs. At least the smaller ones will. What type of catfish do you have? Do you know? I ask as we built our pond for our catfish...Yeah long story on that one..But yeah.. we also have a large bull head catfish who lives in ours. :rolleyes:

I dunno what kind of catfish it is. It's huge and looks black to me. Could be dark green for all I know. Hard to get a good look at him. We bought two but I guess one went to catfish heaven.
