How do fish get started in a pond ?

Whoa!! Its good everybody is keeping a good sense of humor here.

Indeed! For without Humor, there is no humor, and that my friend isn't funny.

I forgot about the post turtle, but nature gives us some pretty strange stuff.


Now, back to the topic. I wish my pond would grow fish. !

Ok, I'' top all your fish stories. Years ago (55) a friend of mine were fishing up a canyon in New Mex. a little canyon called Pot Creek. All of a sudden a terrible storm came up, it sounded like a hurricane coming up the canyon, it started raining like you wouldn't believe, we started walking back down the road because we were soaked and was afraid a snag would fall on us if we kept fishing. Walking down the road a (I know you are laughing) and a 6" trot simply fell out of the sky and landed at out our feet, still floping. We both vowed to never tell any one about this incident as they would say were eating loco weed. Then I think about the man who took 3 fish and 5 loves and fed 5,000.

Strange things happen; when my wife was in high school, on the school bus on her way home, it blew up a storm and rained small frogs which pelted the school bus.

Walking catfish Walking catfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) is a species of freshwater airbreathing catfish native to Southeast Asia, but also introduced outside its native range where considered an invasive species. It is named for its ability to "walk" across dry land, to find food or suitable environments. While it does not truly walk as most bipeds or quadrupeds do, it has the ability to use its pectoral fins to keep it upright as it makes a sort of wiggling motion with snakelike movements.[1] It can survive using this form of locomotion as long as it stays moist.[1] This fish normally lives in slow-moving and often stagnant waters in ponds, swamps, streams and rivers, flooded rice paddies or temporary pools which may dry up. When this happens, its "walking" skill allows the fish to move to other sources of water. Considerable taxonomic confusion surrounds this species and it has frequently been confused with other close relatives.[2]

We got pelted by tiny toads while in a VW bus on the way home from a lake during a huge thunderstorm. It was raining so hard my dad pulled over because he couldn't see. He had the wipers stopped and small black pea-size dots started hitting the windshield and building up on the stopped wiper blades. The dots were baby toads... thousands of them all over the bus and road. Dad said he thought perhaps a tornado had picked them up from a swamp and dumped them on us. Good times! :laughing:
