We never know for sure what we will encounter with a new pond clean out.A new customer called to schedule a clean out. After a short discussion we decided the amount of fish was unknown, and also , Turtles lived in the pond. The clean out itself wasn’t that eventful however, after a partial drain over a hundred goldfish (2in to 6in) were found living under all the overgrown plants. Some invasive cattails needed to be removed , including the roots, Then 4 full grown Turtles and 3 babies under 2in were found. It was cool watching the baby turtles cling and climb on what I guess must have been the mom, in the holding tank. After re- filling every body less several fish went back to their happy, clean pond. A new home was found for the extra fish.
