I think it is more likely that they hear your footsteps coming on the side of the pond. Mine can.

A word of caution. If any of the guys on here drop by to see you, don't let them anywhere the runoff area during a rain. That could easily over fertilize the whole works leading to a disastrous dissolved oxygen crash.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
