The warm weather has the koi all in a tizzy whenever I get home from work.  The warmth makes them more active—and hungry.  So my new after-school ritual is to take Murphy out to do her business, then we sit by the koi pond while I feed the fish.

It’s pretty sweet.  I think we have about ten of them—they’re hard to count—and I introduced a couple of butterfly koi and another twenty rosy red minnows a couple of days ago.  Here’s hoping they do well!

I’m still waiting on Japanese Trapdoor Snails to show up at the big aquarium store down in Columbia, but I may end up ordering them from a supplier (or some guy on eBay, like I did with the ramshorn snails).

Regardless, here’s a fun video of the koi eating!
