Admin koko Posted August 11, 2019 Author Admin Share Posted August 11, 2019 One week old ones. Pond fish are doing great. I did a water change on it yesterday, and within 15 minutes we had a thunderstorm that dump a whole bunch of water in the pond. So I guess they got a good water change lol. Any who here they are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just to funny to me. I'm thinking of getting some duckweed for the pond. That might help😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first about 10 mins they where looking at it like "what is that Mom?" Then they started to peck at it. I think they have the idea. When I looked before bed most of them where hiding under it and then you can see little smack bubbles coming out from under it duckweed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Caretta Rose Posted August 15, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 15, 2019 When do they start to develop colour, or will they stay grey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted August 15, 2019 Author Admin Share Posted August 15, 2019 When do they start to develop colour, or will they stay grey? They should start to change soon, don't know when really. The interesting part is mommy is a Moor so I'm assuming that most will be black.I have noticed a lot of single tailed fish. Some have double but a good majority of them are single. I don't have any Ranchus lol but I had a feeling that would happen.Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted August 15, 2019 Helper Share Posted August 15, 2019 Only one of my current juvies have changed color - and they were born in April or the beginning of May if I recall. It’s highly dependent on genetics, but anywhere from 3-9 months seems normal for retaining fry color. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only color I see so far is two have copper color near there tail fins. Other than that, they are still green gray looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted August 29, 2019 Author Admin Share Posted August 29, 2019 Okay some updates...... Half of the fry went out in the pond. This half is awaiting a kiddy swimming pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted October 1, 2019 Author Admin Share Posted October 1, 2019 Okay guys. I have taken all but 5 of them to the LFS. It was starting to freeze here and my kiddy pool was/going to freeze over soon since its not that deep at all. So here are some shots of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper Arctic Mama Posted October 1, 2019 Helper Share Posted October 1, 2019 They look so great! Really turned into pretty chubbers. Moving them to the fish store was a good idea, but man I always worry horrible people will buy them and mistreat them. Poor goldfish are probably the most abused pet of any type of animal. I keep hoping the internet and places like Kokos or the Solid Gold channel are slowly turning the tide toward proper care and keeping of such lovely animals though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I was kinda sadden to get rid of them, but I just didn't have to heart to let them possibly freeze out there. I was just going to keep the 12 biggies but I had to have another batch of them and just didn't have anymore room. I did keep 3 that had really nice tails and 1 I know that has color in is tail fin. The other one was a single tail fish. So I think 5 of them in the 70 should be okay for the winter. We shall see what they look like in about 6 months Oh and I feed them a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted October 1, 2019 Helper Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sounds good! I can’t wait to see them. So you think they’ll overwinter just fine? I’ve never tried it with babies in a pond, how does that work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to feed them yesterday and they didn't touch the food. So we will see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they didn’t eat much below 50 but Sharon or Mandy would know better than me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they didn’t eat much below 50 but Sharon or Mandy would know better than me [emoji4]I think it is. I stopped feeding the pond fry. The inside fish get one feeding a day.It's been about 60f in the day and at night about 30-40f.So I'm thinking it's just to cold now for them....
