Hi ,

I meet a stingray :stingray:addict in my region (20 kms). He use to raise Occelaris as well and they did pass the winter without dying in roofed outdoor concrete ponds and in mudpond of around 2 meters deep.

At 140km north of my Fish dojo :) a european is raising koi carps indoor and outdoor, he use to have problems with dead fish when rain falls until he roofed his pond.

Spoke with a fish farmer of the central region told me that twenty years ago no problems with rain but now yes so .

Poluted rain???:barf:

No signs of ich for us, thanks for worrying Boosti.
 
"Gallon per hour" in us gallons:
1800 liter = 475.509694245 gallon (US) per hour.
 
Wandering if i should transfer the Pbass from my tank to my mud pond.
Getting cold now, around 21c by night.

The dillema is:

Outground concrete tank vs One meter deep mud pond.

Could be a good occasion to take pics of them and their vents.



Bought a frog trap from the grand dady of my wife, very effective, made of bamboo, and traps the frogs without killing them.

Killed a baby king cobra in one of my mud pond today.
Usually do not kill snakes but do terminate them when they are cobras in our around Home.

keep them in the tank.
21 is too cold to me.
any way you can keep the mud pond heated?
 
One Pea dead today and a lot of shrimps as well ???
Made water change. added neuprocide.

Made new system to pump water from lake.

Can t choose if i want to transfer Pea s from concrete pond to mud pond.
I did measured temperature and surface temp of mud pond is about 1 degree c higher...
And water from concrete pond is 1 degree lower than air temp.
 
We finally made the transfert to the mud pond the 18 th of December we counted 56 juveniles. (see pics)
We bought 150 1 1/2 inch Pea's to stock the concrete pond the 20th.

Here is some pics of fish from the first and second batch that we released in one of our mud pond, we didnt feed them, they did predate on daphnia, gouramis an tilapia fry they sucessfully survive.
We are not sure about the number of survivors in that pond, at best 60 at least 4.

I totally forgot to vent them , sorry for that guys.

150 peas in Concrete tank:

4 days ago we put in tank some live shrimps to make the conversion from artemias to shrimps.

3 days ago we did water change.

Had 2 deads 2 days ago , I opened and look into their stomac and found small shrimps that i haven t being digested. One fish had the stomac broken already.

We stop giving shrimps

2 deads today, nothing in stomac, no trace of ich, water between 22c to 17 c.

Any idea please ???


50 peacocks in mud pond are doing great and sunbath everyday, they are feeding on Gambusias, tilapias, glass shrimps, siamese fighting fish and shrimps.
They rush on small frogs with success and big frogs as well (quite fun to look at as they can t eat them yet) .
