The population is shrinking. We lost another 3 fish last night.

Picked up bog pluming parts at Lowes. Also went to the store and returned some oil purchased to change the tractor oil as I already had purchased it creating a double purchase.

I finally called around for home insurance quotes as itvhas increased from $4.13 per $1,000 of coverage to $6.30 per $1,000 of coverage. I think I read Texas has some of the highest rates, I reallly feel sorry for people in other states with even higher rates.

Lost two more fish today. The watercress is growing faster than expected. The four water lilies are doing well just as expected. No work on the project today.

Had more fish losses yesterday, we are now under 20 live fish. Again, not a big issue when stocking with cheap feeder fish. They likely were not healthy. If all 40 die we will look into what is the cause. Also started on the bogs and waterfall so we’removingright along.

Just pulled 4 more dead fish from the surface. We retesred the water and the results are wiyhin the parameters. I removed a suspect plant and added a circulation pump.

I sure do like the non lined ponds! They are much easier to setup and maintain. Of course lack of rain is an issue with either type.
