  1. 🐟 Longevity That Astonishes
    Koi can live far longer than most people imagine. While many pet koi live 25–35 years with good care, some exceptional individuals have reached extraordinary ages — the famous Hanako reportedly lived to 226 years. Longevity comes down to water quality, diet, genetics and consistently attentive husbandry.

  2. Progress.
    Attachments and hose lengths made final for the second pump. Caps drilled with holes for each return bottom outlet. Three loads of gravel dumped into the #poolpond for the floor. Then I realized there was a section of the wall near the yellow crate that was not actually touching the inner wall, meaning there was a gap. Not good. But the sun has broken through the morning fog so it’s too hot in the hole now to fix it. Will have to wait until Labour Day!

    This weekend is the 1 year anniversary of renting the digger to make the holes! I am about where I figured I would be one year later :)

  3. A pair of Common Darter dragonflies mated and laid eggs in my back garden pond yesterday. this is the second summer that I've had a pond and the second year that Common Darters have visited. #CommonDarter #dragonfly #Galway #Ireland #nature #biodiversity #GardenPond #wildlife

  4. Not much on the pond camera today, but thought I’d share this video showing the fish enjoying themselves. We originally bought 12 feeder goldfish 5 years ago for 25 cents each and now have a nice school of them. #BackyardPond #GardenPond #Pond #PondLife #Goldfish #PondFish #Fish #PondCam #TrailCam
