goldfish come out to play

http://www.alexareynolds.com/garden11/goldfishjan.JPGMy goldfish were very skittish when I first got them, they just sat at the very bottom of the pond.  It took them a week or two but they've become more bold now.  I've started tossing caterpillars into their pond when I pick them off my plants, and watched until I saw them suck them down in one bite.  I managed to catch them in this shot when they were up at the surface eating algae off the ribbon weed.  Good thing, because the algae was going a bit nuts.  I've stopped feeding them fish flakes until they eat more of that algae!
