we had the fish in at 7:00 pm. they didnt seem to mind the cloudy water and we didnt have any floaters this morning.i added salt a quart of stress coat to help them along.after breakfast the edge, lighting,planting and clean up.it should look nice.

What a beautiful pond!!

I can't wait to i have my own home (in otherwords, old enough to move out :P) So i can get a pond, job well done!

PS: And lovely dog, is it a staf? (sp?)
PSS: I'm guessing you'll have goldfish in the pond? Or is it for frogs?

*Edit: sorry, i missed the bit where you mentioned FISH!
