I Consider My Pets Family

Do you know how difficult it was to get the 4 of them in the same shot? I had to lure them with food!
Anyway, they finally came out of winter storage and into their summer pond. I would've done it sooner, but I needed to make some repairs to get the pond in top condition.
Clockwise from the top: Clementine (yellow common), Snowflake (white fan-tail), Sunny (orange fan-tail), and Dusty (Shubunkin).
They might be "just" fish, but I love them and their little personalities. They will eat food directly from my hand.
They are so peaceful and relaxing to watch too!
Next week, some freshwater mussels will be joining them. I'm interested in seeing how that works out.
P.S. I have a net over the pond to prevent the neighbour's cat from fishing them out. I learned the hard way, and lost 2 fish back when I started keeping them.
