Kinda like the opening credits of star wars!

In a galaxy pond far,far away........Man that is some kinda "minnow"....!

I just noticed my Asagi female is growing.( I call her Kimiko) she always hugs the bottom of the pond and likes sinking food. Well the other day she came up side by side with my "Iggy" showa and they were the same length! Wow, my little asagi is growing! She was around 17 inches when I got her this spring and now she's up around 23"! I have a niece of hers that is 15 inches now.
Her reticulation (asagi-han) is still splochy grey as she is only 2. Next year it will be fun to watch her turn the aqua marine blue. A bit more red than I like but two different looks for me to enjoy.

The baby asagi's I bred this year are not growing inside, think I have them too crowded so recently divided them up abit to thin the herd. The metal braces are being constructed and getting ready to be put in place
for the additional greenhouse space needed. should be ready by next spring!
