Suprise! / Foamy Water Part 2
« on: August 17, 2008, 09:50:18 AM »
Well, well.  I have some naughty koi.  Seems they've been breeding  :o  I was doing a clean-out of my upper pond and caught a few of the mystery fish.  Definitely koi.   o(:-)  Though some are still pretty small (I think I've currently got something like 3 seperate age groups of fry) they're mostly pretty colorful  @O@  I brought the largest one inside to get a good look at him, and I'm not shocked to see that it's Butterscotch's kid (my big male).  It's an orange and white just like daddy.  But I could clearly see whiskers, so I'm sure that's no goldie.  I thought spawning went on in the spring, not this late!  I'm also a little confused as to how they made it into the top pond  :thinking:  They must've made it through the filters as eggs.  Ah well.  It'll sure be interesting to see what I end up with!

them babies and eggs can make it thru anything I've decided.....in order to get to our top basin they have to make it thru brushes, a mat, the pump, then into the bio where I have bird netting stuffed really tight at the bottom and then into the basin---we always find around a dozen or so up there at the end of every season  ::)....

So, you have magic koi as well...  Makes life interesting  ;)  Tho, now I'm wondering if that's what they can do as eggs, what are the adults up to?  :thinking:

The wonderful joys of foam.  Here was my mess from this spring.  It was such a mess.  Took a few days to get it clear again.  Like you, I have a few still in the big pond that are about 3 inches now.  I have around 30 in a smaller pond, just to watch them grow.  Some seem to appear to be longfins/butterflies.

Wow!  What a mess, indeed!  Mine wasn't that bad, just patches here and there, usually clinging to plants.  It was awfully hard to get rid of tho.  I'm sure this was just a practice run for them this year and I'll see foam like yours in the spring  ::)    :P

Wow Kim - that looks like ice. Clearly my goldies are 'less intensive' lovers.

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?
