Surprise Harvests on a Wet Morning.

Dear All,
Although it's a wet morning, but in order to provide good water quality for all our pond's fishes, we still have to shift the adult brooders to a new pond on a periodical basis. By doing so, we came across two older brooders, each of them holding fries in their mouths.

Though this event has taken us by surprise, nevertheless, we were still able to act fast enough and get hold of a camera to photograph the whole harvesting process. For your eyes, only.

So cool that you offer these pictures to us. It's only a dream for a lot of us to go see this is person. Thanks.
