Fish babies

neverspentA few weeks ago, the water in the goldfishes' pool turned green and cloudy with algae, which worried me. The water's always been clear before, even when there's silty stuff at the bottom. I don't know what happened -- too much trash dropped in the pool? (People can be dumbos.) Simply too much heat and sun too early in the season?
But a few days ago, it cleared up. I don't know if it was cleaned or treated, but my main concern was the fish, of course... who seem to have survived. Not only that, but yesterday when I went to look at them, I saw two tiny tiny baby goldfish fingerlings! One may actually have been a minnow. But one was clearly a goldfish, white body with a red head. (Two tiny to get in a photo, unfortunately.) If they survive, they'll greatly beat the odds, but I was happy to see that the goldfish population is still healthy enough to be having babies. :)
