Freecylce Fish

This is last years picture of the goldfish we took out of our little artificial pond for the winter. The fish are comets, a common feeder fish that sell for about a dime a piece. We put them in the pond so to eat the mosquito larvae. The pond isn't deep enough for them to winter over, so last year we brought them inside. The fish tank and all of it's peripherals were a score from Freecycle.

These are the same fish this year. I think we lost two or three over the summer, definitely the one brown one. And we might even have a second generation in there, but I am not sure on that. But they are definitely bigger. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the fish might be twice as big. It would make sense, this is their second summer. With our freecyle tank, we'll see how many seasons we can get out of them. Not bad for some fish that were supposed to be someone else's lunch.
