Terryo -- again, thanks (you responded to another of my posts). Your pond looks really nice. I can't wait to get started on mine, but it may be fall or next spring. I'm sort of waiting to determine the genders of all my babies, because I will be separating them (all are siblings). I have an idea for a way to use one pond with a separator that would actually divide the one pond into 2 separate ponds, sharing the same water. If that works out, I will be able to further enlarge the habitat (with a girl end and a boy end), having the shared pond in the middle.

BTW, what all plants have you used, and in particular, what water plants are working out?
