I bought this Sanke on 5/7/08 at approx. 3 inches. I am posting a picture of it with 2 other fish I bought that day, the other 2 were approx. 6 and 7 inches. I purchased these 3 fish when my QT was completed to grow out in the QT to keep the filters "alive" so QT would be ready should I ever need it. My QT is approx. 4 X 8, metered at 650 gallons. On a separate thread, I am going to post current picture of the Kohaku to get your opinions and the Goshiki is now all white, destined to live in the QT until too big. On 9/8/08 while doing my weekly water change and maintenance on my pond and QT, I decided to pull the Sanke to see how it was doing. My QT has been going through "new pond syndrome" so I have only caught glimpses of the 3 fish but cleared up now and wanted to see what I have. I was shocked when I pulled the Sanke, she went into the QT at about 3 inches and on 9/8/08 she measures approx. 8 1/2 inches. The tub she is in has inches and half inches marked and is 8 1/2 inches wide.
So, what do you think of her, good or bad, I want to learn.
