| This is getting to be an interesting topic.
We in the equatorial region are thinking of chillers to modify our pond temp. Has anyone come across any articles to suggest which is better ie creating a scenario of the 4 seasons or have a constant heated pond temperature all year round? Interestingly we know the better fish of most breeders are being kept indoors in heated ponds during the cold seasons. Anyone has any idea what temp do they keep them at? Only 2 weeks ago Kentaro-san from Sakai Hiroshima was at my place when I asked him regarding pond temperature. He suggested we in this region (Malaysia) should have pond temp at 26degC alternating with 28 degC every 2 weeks. His rationale is better control of the feeding & growth frenzy, better shiroji and beni, and overall better skin quality. |
