Field Notes
Description:
Fished out of a river or lake by a neighbours grandchildren using nets while out in the country and put in his swimming pool. The neighbour asked if we wanted them in our newly dug rain-filled pond, or he would throw them out with the rubbish. That was two years ago and they were about 2" (5 cm) long, now they are 3-4 times that size. One died but the other 3 are surviving along with another different one which is bigger and camera shy. They don't want to know about fish food but take occasional worms I throw in and the big one jumps out after dragonflies.
Habitat:
garden pond
