They even grew a bit, I think (about finger length), but they’re certainly ravenous. We had a bunch of algae in the pond, and even though we took some out, they did quite a job in getting rid of the rest. I started feeding them again two days ago. One of them, unfortunately came through the winter with a bit of tail rot, but he seems perky otherwise, and I’m only treating with Mela- and Pimafix. Hope it gets better.

We’ve on and off seen the two orange of our goldfish over the past couple of days, but today we were finally able to ascertain that all three of them are in fact alive and well and happily nibbling on the algae that the longer days bring to our ponds. (Man, there’s a lot of those.)
