have to ask a question neighbor was here and took me to see 1 of her fish and tried like heck to get a pic or catch it but could not but I can see 2 bumps and looks like a scale is loose and nothing else that I can see .She wanted to know how to treat it .I was there almost 2 hours trying to catch the little sucker this morning .He is fast as heck but if you give him food you can see it and we tried food and the net and 2 of us and still did not succeed in catching him .

Sissy, I still have my goldfish with multiple bumps (at least 5) that have been there since spring. I tried to catch him a month ago, and it's just a no way losing battle there. Once they know you are trying to catch them, it's even harder. I know most people drain their ponds down when trying to catch a fish, but that just doesn't make sense to me. My fish has been fine for 7 months, so I'm going to assume what his issue is does not happen to be contagious. Yes, I did have goldfish dying for a while there, but none have died in the last month or so, gotta figure whatever that problem was is also gone, or maybe the cold weather put the issue in "hibernation". I will certainly be aware of the possibility of it raising it's ugly head come springtime and warmer pond water, but for now, everyone is happy and healthy in there. Good luck catching that fish! If you get the job done, let me know how you accomplished it! Oh, I did have good luck using a flashlight at nighttime, spotlighting the fish and slowing netting it that way. Got all of my goldfish moved from the koi pond this past spring, all in one evening, using that "technique". So, once the water cools down, maybe try that to catch the fish.

KoiGuy, we used to have a restaurant called "Croakers". Really? That just leads a person to think that would be the last place they would want to go for a good meal! I ate there before, and they had good food. Just not good enough to stay in business in this small town.

most people sleep in on sunday, and wake whenever they wake...so unless you go to bed at a specific time, and set your alarm for sunday mornings....wheres the extra hour of sleep come in? and if you wait and set your clock back when you wake up in the morning did you lose that hour of sleep? i guess, if you go to bed at 2:00 am and set your clock as you go to bed, you dont gain nor lose anything.... lol

Well, you gain an extra hour of time, right? I remember when it used to be you changed the time at 1 a.m., but then the bars that closed at 1 had to stay open an extra hour, so they moved it to 2 a.m. .... or am I just dreaming? :beerchug:

What happens if you stay up late and are watching a movie at 2am when the time changes? Do you gain an extra hour of that movie you are watching or in Spring do they cut you off and put you right in the middle of the next show? I'm staying up tonight to see what happens :bdaybiggrin:
