CrossRoad

Good Friday weekend was just cruising along fine...my wife and kids were all home and leisurely, I was tending to all my fishes and appreciating the growth rate of Spawn A and B. Had a call(out of the blue) from some friends asking whether they can come vist and that the boss of a fish farm will also like to see the black babies. To cut a long story short, a couple of hours after viewing, I had an offer to buy over the whole spawn...Spawn A. Many things raced through my head....I was standing at a cross road.

I attached 2 conditions to the sales...one is....I keep a few pieces for myself and some close friends. The other is....the spawn be kept together for at least a month so that I can enjoy their growth. It will be interesting to see how Spawn A grow as the conditions in the farm are far more ideal. There is continous dripping of water and there are regular feeding intervals of frozen bloodworm and duckweed. Further, the spawn will be housed in big fibre glass tubs...the abundance of space will definitely help the black babies to grow well.

  1. What a happy and sad time for a fish keeper.

    I wish I had that problem. Maybe someday in the future I will be able to make such a tough decision.

    Best fishes
