I hope you fed them? Nice play on words this Murry! We are trying to go to the FW Botanical Gardens next week. Jeff

Thanks Jeff from a different thread. Be sure to visit the Japanese Garden first--it's the best IMO! If you get there when they first open you get an early bird discount rate :0)

Wonderful capture, Murry. I just got some more goldfish today. My youngest two thought it would be fun to take them out of the tank, and play with them!
