Got a little down a couple weeks ago, so i started digging my own grave in the backyard...
got about 3 feet down and realized it was gonna be easier to just keep living, so I've turned it into a fish pond...
The whole reason behind the pond was that the 3 goldfish we got for the kids aquarium have become full blown 6-8" carp...
In addition to the carp, I've got a dozen ruby red minnows in there... bullhead minnows are the only minnow we are allowed to fish with in california, and ruby reds happen to be a strain of bullhead... hoping they like it and start making babies... if not, they'll be allowed to grow for awhile before they become bait...
