Introduction:
Hi everyone! How are you and your ponds doing? Up here in Northern Ohio,
our pond is probably the best that it has ever been. My wife does a
great job on it! I hope your experiences are going well also.

Thanks For The New Pond Pictures:
I'd like to thank Pam from Illinois and Stacey from California for the
most recent pond pictures I have posted on Backyard-Pond-Guide. Ladies,
your ponds look great! Keep up the good work and enjoy your ponds.
Pond Keg:
Some of you might be interested in having a small pond keg. My
mom-in-law has one and she just loves it. She has pond plants and fish
in hers. Below is a picture of it.
Message Board Again:
I'm not going to give up. I might be trying to put up another message
board again in the near future. If I do, I hope all of you can help
contribute to it. It can be a great source of information for everyone.
Be on the lookout for it. I'll let you know when I get it up and
running.
Little Red Worms:
I received a question from Brenda this past week about little red worms
that she found in her pond filter media, she was kind of alarmed by
them. Well I did a little research about them and as it turns out they
are quite normal and your fish will love them. They are simply blood
worms. There is nothing wrong with your filter or pond water. Some
people actually freeze them and sell them to fish owners. Brenda, thanks
for the question!
Fish Food Ideas:
Fish love Cheerios or even a generic brand of them. I would imagine they
are very nutritional for them also. They also like frozen peas and small
pieces of watermelon. Just some food for thought.
Keep It Natural:
Max from Washington called me this past Friday. We had a great
conversation. One of things we discussed was the importance of keeping
your pond all natural. You don't need any chemicals in your pond. Your
pond will flourish all by itself, just give it a chance. Thanks for the
call Max!
And Finally:
I hope you have good luck with your pond and if there's any questions
you might have, feel free to ask. Till next time... Bob
