  • In my last pond update video I announced that I thought one of my fish was pregnant, well those got taken by a predator bird and I missed them so much! In this vlog style episode, you'll see how I built a simple cage structure to protect my new Medaka fish with a visit to a garden centre too. Let me know your Scottish name suggestions in the comments!

    Not sure if you've seen the series 'Outlander' but these are some of the names (and their origin/meanings) from it:
    Murtagh (means “sea-warrior” and “mariner.”)
    Dougal (Scottish. Meaning: Dark stranger; Black)
    Fraser (of Scottish and Norman origin meaning “of the forest men.”)
    Taran (a gender-neutral name of Gaelic origin, meaning “thunder.”)
    Jamie (Unisex name of Hebrew, Scottish origin meaning "supplanter")
    Brianna (Celtic, meaning: Strong. She ascends)
    Marsali (Girl's name meaning "warrior". One of the most distinctive Scottish names for girls)

Can’t imagine you do I don’t in mine and it has been going for years but it’s not in full sun and has a good supply of oxygenating plant. I also watch to see if fish are coming up for air and then put in rain water to top up. Also most important don’t over stock. Hope you don’t mind my advice love the video all the best Robert
