Sunday Fishroom Post 11.24.2019

Good Evening Fellow Fishkeepers, Well, it's been several weeks since I last posted. I do have a good excuse though, I quit my job at the Postal Service and took a 8-4 Monday through Friday position with a Non-Profit Organization that is closer to home. This will allow me to work with my fish more in the evenings and provide a much needed 2 day weekend every week!  To bring everyone up to date on the fishroom, we have several pair of Classic Koi and High Coverage Koi laying eggs again. I have about 300 High Coverage Koi fry growing...

Good Morning Fellow Fishkeepers, It's been a while since I've posted an update. So lets get back on track with what is new. Over the past several weeks, I have been busy painting the tanks. Basically, the back, bottom, and sides of the aquariums are painted a nice blue color. This has several benefits for breeding certain types of aquarium fish such as Discus and Angelfish. First, the Discus and Angelfish get stressed when they lay eggs and can see other fish in tanks next to their own. They will swim around all day defending eggs against these fish and...

Well, it looks like we have 2 established pair of Clown Angelfish in the 55 grow out tank. One pair has already laid eggs and I was able to save a dozen or so fry. I will likely move each pair to their own breeding tank today and move some new angels to the 55 grow out tank. At this point, not sure what to move. Was maybe thinking some of the discus fry since they are at a quarter size now. The featured image for this blog post is one from a week ago of the Red Melon Discus...

It has been a few weeks since my last post so I will do my best to get you caught up on what has been going on. First the good news. One of our Red Melon Discus pair has finally raised a dozen or so young to dime size. This is the same pair that would lay every 10 days or so but then eat the babies and lay new eggs on the breeding cone. After this batch of fry were free swimming, I removed the breeding cone and they seem to have temporarily lost the urge to lay eggs....

Happy Fathers Day to all dads out there. It's been a few weeks since my last post and I'm posting this on Saturday rather than Sunday due to my hectic schedule for Sunday. (The majority of which will involve getting boxes and labels ready for shipping fish on Monday)  I have been getting a lot of questions regarding the High Coverage Koi and when they will be available again. The 3 pairs that we have breeding are currently producing small batches of fry. I will have a limited amount available in July but will have to see how egg laying...
