Had FH delivered from Anderson last Friday. Although quite a few of them were DOA, the rest were happy. Males were holding ground under rocks within a day - and 5 days later I've got fry all over the place.

I took about 150 pics and about 1/3 were 'in focus.' Finally figured it out and just got close to the water, zoomed in, and clicked away.

I have minnows arriving on the 29th from Andersons to our place in Missouri. Are there any permits or regs regarding building a pond in Maricopa county? I'm just guessing they probably treat it like a pool as far as fencing requirements?I'd love to put a pond in when we build our new home.
