Pictures!!! ok! I LOVE pictures...
Here's the views of the day... The green cesspool of quaranitine- These guys are kinda gross. They had a bad winter in whatever lake they came from, long stringy gross looking poop, and stuff wanting to grow on them. Yuck. This should take care of it. I'll keep them in QT for an extra week I think, and maybe do some culling once I start to see who's who in there... They'll go in the toilet...I wouldn't feed these things to a wild raccoon the way they are...
The fry are amazing to watch. Very healthy.
The 2 rays eating together are the juvenile breeding pair. Male is the darker one at about 9" and the female is a little beauty queen in the making at about 8" or so. Sorry bout not turning the light on for their picture, but I didn't feel like doing it over...lol.
The Henlei mix continues to amaze me. I'm wondering if she got pregnant already, but I would't know how to tell this soon. My male spent 3 solid days chasing and tearing her up...and now seems un-interested. Is that a sign that he 'got some'?
The multi-spot(for lack of a better term) and the Leo are the most fun. They seemed to handle their move very well, and they love to play, and the little multi-spot seems to want her head rubbed all the time. Anything I do in the water, she comes and puts her head under my fingers just like a little puppy that isn't getting enough attention.
Then- The worms. Today's urgent project. I had about 200 that were already due to be sifted into new bedding, and yesterday I dumped another 1000 right in with them. So now I have to assemble my screens and mix up some bedding.... These are the warm variety of worms, so they stay in the fish room. I bought top soil at walmart just because it's inside and im lazy. I'll worry about saving $3 later on when it's warmer. I also didn't feel like dealing with trying to find ground up grains or anything, so I bought a bag of chicken scratch-feed. I'll probably have to chop it up better in the food processor, but it's food either way. The other option they had was sweet-feed for horses, but I don't know if the molasses will ferment in the soil...
im just kidding lol
