We have a new 'fun' society in the area. They had their first Pond Safari today and announced a 'baby' show to be held by them in June (our winter but not really winter!..coldest my pond went in winter was 16 degrees C). So I deceided what the heck I'll play for fun and I need some fish to keep the QT going anyway. So I got these Japanese tosai to grow. The size limit for the show will be 40cm so I looked for fish that will finish fast. There was not much to choose from amoungst the shiro's so the pic will speak for itself! The kohaku seems promising so does the little round sanke. The doits showa is a wild card!
Any tips on how to grow them slow and get a good finish? The QT tank is 3000 litre with a settle ment chamber and a bakki shower with a 18 000l/h pump. Temp in there is pretty warm at 26 degrees.
