Haha! Indeed. I’m thinking (I know that’s dangerous) that maybe all that shade helps keep the water cooler. Cooler water is more comfortable for swimming, and maybe is better for SMB and YP?? Plus they look good. We are tree huggers.


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.
