Mike M.
Thanks for answering my questions...All made sense...
Just as a point of interest...I'm sure you know that a lot of ponders would love to have your original pond, especially with all the tropical landscaping...
I have to give you credit for choosing Showa to raise, from what I've been learning, they're the most unpredictable to raise...But when they pop, THEY POP!!!
Finally got the guts to get a couple from that guy in NC...both have great potential...Got um for a song because I ordered males, asking him to choose them for me... He chose it, priced it as a male, held onto it for about 6 months then shipped it to me... Unfortunately for him, it turned out to be a female...If it pops, Katey bar the door...
Looking forward to future installments of your project... Thanks for sharing...
Aloha! Mike T
