I recently made a trip to south Louisiana to visit with Fishin4cars and get some fish (Wakin) that he was holding for me. I also came home with a gorgeous Shubie, so got 4 very nice fish from Larkin! Also visited a place that breeds and sells koi and goldfish. Larkin had alerted me that they had a new batch of Shubies that were worth looking at. Well, there I got 5 Shubies, one red & white fantail, and one calico fantail.
Tried to take some pics this afternoon, and while they're not the best, they give an idea of what my new little guys (or girls) look like. Realized that I was so focused on getting my 5 Shubies and 2 fantails, that I failed to get shots of the ones from Larkin. So that will be another day. Note that the water is a little cloudy -- that's from zeolite and oyster shells, recently added. Also, in a few shots it might look like a fish has "spots," but it's just a piece of trash in the water, or a reflection!
# 4 & 5 are of the same fish -- though you can't tell from the pics, it has an almost neon look! the "neon" guy and this one are my favorites -- this one is shadow "blue" with a gorgeous tail! # 7 & 8 are of the same fish, red & white fantail, Sarasa-patterned -- pics don't do him justice! And last but not least is a beautiful calico fantail -- stunning tail!
Sorry the pics aren't the best.
