Thanks so much everyone, you're all so nice it almost makes me cry. I'm so glad you all think I did the best thing for her, I knew you'd all be supportive and understand. Of course who would understand best but PetTalkers

And The pond is not mine, its my bestfriend's pond, its a natural pond just about 50 feet from her house and is surrounded by trees. We go back dozens of times during the summer. So Yeppers! I will be able to see my Queen now and again, with how big and white she is, she will definatley be very easy to spot. She's the biggest fish in the pond

Once again, all your comments mean so much to me.

And now for my tank. About a week withdrawel of fish to get perfectly clear and a good water change. I'm going to let the water get crystal clear, the ammonia level to 0 and the ph correct and the heat set and then get my tropical fish. I think they will be very beautiful, and they won't grow so big that I will have to put them in a pond lol.

I was wondering, how many 1" fish would you reccommend for a 55 gallon?
