Regular Member Bmitchell486 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Regular Member Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Bmitchell486 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Regular Member Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted December 29, 2016 Regular Member Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper FishyMandy Posted December 30, 2016 Helper Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
