New season

[DrCase]

I started my 100 gal stock tank nursery up yesterday just to get it in the system

 

[DrCase]

The Koi in my lower pond are starting to breed this morning
So I cut a few branches and put them on the sides of the pond to give them something to lay eggs on
My Nursery is ready this year with a good slime coat on the walls

They were going at it hard when i left this morning
We were on a job out of town today so i couldn't check on them during the day
when i got home the water was still real clear ...every one must not have been ready
there are a few eggs
we have some big storms coming in tonight & through the week end that might get them going

would you beleive my goldies born in my pond last year are spawning @ just over 2" or so?

 

[DrCase]

I can believe it KoiGuy
My Koi had a good spawn the last 2 days i got out my branches and set them into my 100 gal stock tank ..
And turned the air on for them

 

[DrCase]

I got swimmers :biggrin:
The weather has been good for the hatch

I found eggs 2 days ago. Not many, I gathered a few and placed them in a 30 gallon aquarium along with the string algae. This is my 2nd spawn in a month.
Only a few the first time and those fry are already a half inch long.

I made this Upflow return bottom drain for my fry its kept the tank clean all season
I am running around 400 gal an hour through the tank
All i have to do is feed the fry

The small ones are last year fry
My favorite one is in the middle left the orange and black

What a great gizmo. It's amazing what one can do with a colander in a pond!

 

[DrDave]

I was wondering what it was until you mentioned it Koikeepr. You are right that is a great idea and easy to find in any grocery store.
