My ornamental pond with Medaka rice fish is coming up for a year old now. In this highly requested video, I give you an update on how the pond is doing and how the fish faired our harsh winter. I also share some very exciting news and clean up the pond for the new season and inhabitants.

Wonderful video 🍃🌸🍃
I have both newts and frog spawn in my pond. Have solved the problem by removing some spawn to a separate tank. Once the tadpoles in the tank have grown too big for the newts to eat they go back into the pond.
Oh it's just lovely. That pitcher will recover 😉 And Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 can't wait to see the little ones!!!
You have made me feel guilty that I haven't cleaned out my Medaka ponds! I also lost three fish in the pre-Christmas freeze and, like your unfortunate little fellows, I think it was because they were too small to cope. I was wondering how often you feed your fish. I imagine it's every couple of days or so when you get to your plot which is about when I feed mine, but I am unsure whether I feed mine enough – they are always hungry!
What wildlife camera do you use for your fox night visits?
Some people sponsor an elephant while others sponsor a tiger. I would like to sponsor a wee, tiny fish! It would be nice to keep the Scottish theme. Seumas is a possibility (hint, hint). Looking forward to progress reports. 😊
I'm glad you updated us. It just adds so much interest to the garden.
Great video.. excited to see if you get some babies 🐠🤍
Regarding the fish we bought some white cloud mountain minnows and some gold fish for our 2 seperate ponds. We were told they would survive over winter. Anyway, during the really cold spell, we bought 2 indoor aquariums. We transferred all the fish indoors. They are all so happy in the indoor aquariums. 😊
I hope the plants will recover well… The two fish…aren t they enough for this size of container? I ve had a summer pond for a turtle I ve kept mostly indoors… But te turtle needed also a summer holiday. I ve made a shallow pond and a gravel path on my rooftop garden.
Love the wee pond and fish… Looking forward to updates on the babies… Lachie, seamus, Morag, Jeannie a few wee names. 😂
nice update katrina
Baby fish are exciting, I had koi and fancy tail goldfish yrs ago, and many many babies 😊
Hope the pitcher plant is ok.
Margaret, David, and Kirstin are the names of my Scottish relatives. As an American, I’ve no idea how authentic those are but I think they’d be fine for fish babies 😄
Hiya Katrina Thankyou for the updates on ponds yes I was one of your subscribers asking about them. Lol oh baby fish or small fry I think you called them? Yes please keep us posted. Blessings luv southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Great video, thinking about having a pond myself this year.
Marie and fergus? Is someone a cell block H fan?
Looks amazing love that!
Hi Katrina. I loved watching your fish get their pond cleaned, and I'm interested that you have a water lily and use netting on top. We have a concrete tub with 2 fish, Lily and kevin, named by Grandchildren, also with wide netting. I'd love to plant a water lily, and wonder do they grow up through the grid? We have lots of birds and neighbour's cats, so the netting is essential!
Your sundews are gorgeous! Cheers!
How cold do your winters get?
Fingers crossed for some lovely baby Medaka's. Cannot wait to see the colour. It will be a wait of a few months once the eggs have been laid, but well worth the wait. You will need to let the fry develop away from the parents as they will eat them. They can go back together once grown for a few months.
🙂
Good pond vlog. Have you thought about getting gardening back up suport friends for your wedding to help supply flowers? xx
You are getting better, if it's possible,with the videos 🙂
Everything looks great!
Your videos are a total joy to watch. I can’t get enough of them😊 cheers from Canberra Australia
O g'wan ; go with yr instinct ! the fish are alright ! 😉
an aside about pond : generally outside ponds are generally 2ft deep minimally , plus , since tank is above ground it lacks the comfort of ground insulation .
– SMART about mesh cover ; congrats all round , brilliant !!!
