These fishes are "vegetarians", hence I can't grow any water lilies or floating plants in it. Your hubby, Mr Fishman did a DIY job on the pond. I look forward to more posts about this. I think using the PVC pond liner is a great idea.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-8283028779494783682012-08-08T07:07:51.502-05:002012-08-08T07:07:51.502-05:00Kudos to the Fishman for a job well done--the new ...Kudos to the Fishman for a job well done--the new water feature looks fantastic!
