| continued rambling
On my visits to japan, I often asked breeders when they needed to reline the banks with new clay. I was told that it differed from pond to pond according to the color the water had that year but got the sense it averaged every 3-4 years.
The last month of so, I have delved into the hobby of goldfish raising and for breeders and hobbyists alone, the big effort is to raise them even inside in aquariums in green water, which is a reall fight to do correctly. color of the green tells you when to redo the effort and if the water is browning, there are health issues in your goldfish. Struggling to come to grips with the push to have green for one member of the carp family and the push to eliminate green for another. I know there are other koi kichi's out there that are also into goldies....so why the difference? In my struggle to get caught up on the latest, I see that most of the Doers in this world are in china,Taiwan and thailand and that most up to date magazines are in that language. So I feel Stymied in advancing my knowledge. I have left threads in goldfish sites heavily participated by those from Singapor but no answers/acknowledgements. |
