Sorry for the delay; the temp has been too hot to bowl fish, finally bowled fish at 6am today and water temp was at 86 degree. Sorry for the picture quality they were not very cooperative, maybe water was to hot to be bowled and they didn't like it so I had to move fast. Got very good growth, but sumi has not come up on any of the fish, may due to water temp. Since switching out on food and doing more water changes, I noticed that the beni and the shiroji got much cleaner and deeper. This grow-out has been a very facinating experience for me and even if I didn't win anything I really appreciate the opportunity to learn from everyone.
