The constant rains around here was a damper on my fishing life so I picked up 8 used tanks from a local fish importer earlier this week.
Been busy cleaning up the used tanks and building stands for them. Two of the tanks are now operational which allowed me to empty a 55g tank which I can now use as a Summer camp for the fast growers, which are now about 3 inches, from the first batch collected last spring. .
Here's a pic of the 20 I picked out from two of the growout tanks. Will pick another 30 tomorrow to stock the 55 and grow them to at least 5 inches there.
Caught this mini-monster munching on one of its sibling
Most of the time they spit it out when they see me coming and hide in the midst of its other siblings. This time I was able to fetch the camera and it was still trying to swallow its sis when I came back. Sorry for the blurry pic but the piggy won't pose as it kept weaving in and out of the main pack
This is how they will look at around 5 inches. Some will have three bars, a few will have only two. These pack was grown from a batch I collected last Fall.
