It's been ages since I was last actively contributing around here, but I figured I should at least post up some updates on the fish.
The current setup, main changes in the last few months:
- Largest common and shubunkin relocated to relative's pond
- Added 8 Oto Cats and 5 Golden algae eaters (A controversial choice, but they have gone two months without getting into trouble with the goldies).
- More work on live plants, pressurized CO2 added.
My star goldie "Cal" has grown a bit, and faded out a lot of his black highlights: (See
this post(click) for how he used to look):
These two comets are still around, looking perhaps a little bedraggled but otherwise behaving like they are healthy. These are the two that I
nearly lost to infection(click) last year, and a recent relapse was seen on the orange spotted one. This explains the scarred up tail fins. They have been real troopers:
Polly still has his frill. Turns out he was nearly full size when I got him:
These next two are the ones my father coined the "sharkie twins" when they were first introduced. They
started out completely black(click), and I had naively thought them to be chocolate orandas. Well, they
quickly changed color, and only recently has there been any oranda-like wen growth at all.
Sorry for not stopping by more often. Hope somebody remembers these guys.
