Times New RomanHi, Yes, I'm a pondkeeper also. I have a 1500 gallon pond with 7 large koi, one Sarassa Comet and about 30 growing koi-mets ( koi/sarassa comet hybrids) I sit each morning at the edge of the pond, drinking my coffee and enjoying my fish friends. -Alix Peshette Sacramento, CA ArialDate sent: Sat, 21 Jul 2001 08:50:30 -0500 From: The Austin's < Subject: Re: POND TALK To: ArtsEdNet Talk < Send reply to: ArtsEdNet Talk < Times New RomanThanks for sharing - your pond is gorgeous!
