| I would suggest a show vat that holds 300 gallons or so as a perefct place that can be cleaned and stored and used as needed. Allow the water to reach a temp
close to the parents water and air for several days before introducing the female.
4 days before the full moon introduce the male/males. most of the time if both parents are ready they will spawn in the next few days early in the am.. I like to use artificial spawning net that can be strung to contain the eggs and later disinfected for storage.
other info to considerahead of any actvity to pond prep for the yopungsters to introduce gingo/daphnia as a food source for the babies. timing is critical.
showa are first culled at 3 days and kohaku at 40. |
