Bmitchell486 554 Posted October 3, 2016 WOW some of them looking like they are going to be perfect Thanks Koko! They come from a really great breeder, Matt Lyon. I think he's had this line going for 8+ generations. They turned 4 weeks old today 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bmitchell486 554 Posted December 29, 2016 Update on the babies! So, I had my 26 fry going for a long time. Not growing as fast as I wanted, but still growing. Every few weeks, I had to cull one due to severe buoyancy problems, taking me down to 21 over a few months time. But I made the mistake of not culling earlier for less severe issues. I was only culling for life-threatening issues. Anyways, several had this issue where the tip of their caudal was always pointing towards their face. I was hoping they would grow out of it. But it got worse and worse and really inhibited their swimming abilities. So a few days ago, I took my 21 fry and decided to cull again. Took them from 21 to 12, and it was really really hard for me. I should have done it earlier, and now I know how much the seemingly insignificant issues really do cause problems for goldfish. But I am happy with the 12 that I have! I was a little lenient on 2 of them (I should probably only have 10) so I guess I didn't fully learn my lesson yet. But I am still learning The 21: The 12: I've got 3 white matte's, 1 white metallic, 5 wilds (that I am hoping will change color to kirin) and 3 calico/kirin. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakaho 6,312 Posted December 29, 2016 A matt x wild cross should produce all kirins or at least all "some kind of nacreous fish". You might consider trying that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishyMandy 6,278 Posted December 30, 2016 They are beautiful! So cute. Culling is the hardest part for me, I know it has to be done and it's better to do it early than to let it grow into a big fish with big problems, but it's still never easy! i always just want to see if they grow out of it 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
