Spike-nice to see you on Bito. Your background and interest in the hobby needs to be seen on this board. Dick, I have only had one jumbo toasi and it has grown slowly since becoming two. The theory in Spike's starter would explain why Northern Japenese fish catch up with the South. Louie, on another thread a Florida keeper thought all So Cal experts feed all year. You have joined the strategy of fasting, which I use. I did talk to a friend who fasted for 3 month last year in So Cal and she felt it did have a negative impact on the bodies of her fish. It seems we are all experimenting-each year is different; and then you add the pond, filter, fish....
