Photogenic

These fishies are very special. They know a photo opportunity when they see one! I had finished building a pond for a guy in Shelby County and he wanted me to supply the fish for the pond as a surprise for his wife who was coming in from out of town. These guys were great and they lined up perfectly for my wife, Donna, as she took this group shot.
Some of the ponds I've built over the years have gravel bottoms. It is a good look, but cleaning gravel bottoms can become a bit of a hassle as years of sediment build up. Now, I go other the pros and cons of having a gravel bottom...go over other options (including rocking the side walls of the pond but leaving the bottom without stone of any kind)...and then let the customer decide.
