Pond News Flash!

We have some very exciting news about our Native Dwarf Galaxias fish…they have had babies! We have seen quite a few and estimate we may have around 50. Foundation D were very good at spotting them. They are becoming expert bird and fish spotters!

 

Dwarf Galaxais is an endangered species and is a protected species in Victoria. We are lucky to be able to keep and breed this species.
