And not for gambusia, either!

Found this cute little rascal during a pond cleaning today!

The proud baby-mama/daddy?

There had been three Blackbandeds in there since summer 2015. Two passed on this summer, but at least one of 'em had a part in leaving a little legacy for me.

Congratulations on the success! Fish want to live, fish want to breed - often in spite of us!

And I was fully prepared to make fun of your Gambusia success. But to my surprise. Probably came in as fry too small to recognize. Plants possibly. Heron legs?

Thanks, all. Matt, you left out kids with buckets and trebuchets; isn't that how we decided some of those Lepomis showed up in your pond? :)
