Thanks Bill, I was afraid that might be the case. I’ll see how many ribbons I get this spring. The pond is full, so I should get a pretty good idea on the actual ribbon numbers.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
