, CAUTION: Do not put fish in new cement pool until pool has been filled and drained two times. Alkali from cement might kill fish. 
SPAWNING: Grow baby goldfish in your pool! Watching the baby fish grow is highly fascinating. Order fish early if you wish them to spawn 
in your pool. Be sure to include either (1) The oxygenating plant Marestail or (2) The floating plant Water Hyacinth for the fish to lay their 
eggs on. We especially recommend Marestail for fish spawn especially well in it and its bright, green, lacy foliage adds tremendously to the pool. 
Order both, preferably. 
BREEDERS: Only fish 3 to 6 inches or larger can be classified as breeders. We have giant goldfish up to 10 inches in length for customers 
who can come to our gardens.
