    Default My Guards to the greenhouse door

    These are my trained killer goldfish guarding my orchid greenhouse and the 2600 gal rainwater pond hose is refilling my tanks in the greenhouse. Warning all goldfish have been trained in martial arts

    They look like wimps to me. A little food and they would be at my beckon call. They would probably float orchids to me in gratitude. What did you make your pond out of?

    I believe these goldfish is very tame and easy to catch especially to the owner...very nice pond and fish.
