We have been having our garden landscaped, and are finally almost finished! Today we went to the garden centre to get some plants and pots and things. We also have a water feature, which is like a trough with a pump that spits water, so we decided to get some residents for it!
So please welcome... Champagne, Zeus and Bollinger Bamboo Tipsyfish!
They are all Shubunkins, and were a bit quiet when we first put them in (they went to the bottom of the tank and lay there and I thought they had died! ), but have settled in well and seem happy. Champagne is Souffle's, and has a white head and a black patch on his side (but you can't see this in the pics as he is always facing the other way ); Zeus is mine and has a white and orange body and a black head; and Bollinger is BigD's and is white with orange patches.
Here are some piccies!

Hope you like them ~ and I hope they are still all alive tomorrow! When we had indoor fish they never seemed to live long!

.... and I want to see pics of your garden!! Ours is in the 'almost-finished-the-major-weeding-and-clearing-but-bare-of-plants' stage and am currently pouring over Gardening books / websites/ t.v programmes trying to decide what to do with it, lol.
I do think it would be nice to have a rabbit shed plus run... and want a wildlife bit with a couple of dwarf fruit trees and a hazel bush and we plan to have a hedge running down one side, but actual plants and stuff I'm not great with!! :P

I was going to take some pictures of the garden today and post them, but it hasn't stop raining all day! I will try and take some tomorrow if it's better weather!

Lovely looking fish, hope they settle in well! We bought two fish yesterday as well, know what you mean about the weather - been out in it cleaning the pond.
Bah im terrible now! I work for Maidenhead Aquatics and wouldnt be allowed to sell shubs to any thing that size and without pump and filter
However for shubs, they are beautiful examples! Im not the biggest fan of pondfish though koi are growing on me except when they jump out and slap me in the face!
