The weather has been extremely hot with sporadic short downpour. Humidity is on the high and it can be very tiring with a full time job and ranchu chores to perform day in and day out, but as an avid ranchu keeper and an unbounded desire to improve my ranchu knowledge and skills, these ranchu chores are moments that I look forward to after a full day at work...a time for me to relax and play with my fishes.
I did another spawn and I was careful not to have too big a spawn that will entail too heavy a workload....this spawn is my fifth spawn for the Year Breeding 2012. With much appreciation to some bros who graciously shared/brainstormed what little we know, I managed to trigger spawn after spawn...planning and how to get our seed fishes to spawn is(I realised) an art/science. I am glad too that I found a way to let the eggs carry to maturity and though today is the third day after the spawn, the eggs are still a day or two from hatching.
Samples Update of some 2012 Breedings....
As much as I progress in my ranchu development, I do make mistakes and sometimes I have to take a few steps backward in order to go forward...all in all a great year of learning ranchu with network/friends that spread far and wide and even to America. Thank you my foreign friends...you all been most kind to share knowledge on treatment and the procuring and sending me of various products for my ranchu breeding like brine shrimp from Salt Lake.
Share....One fish that cannot swim well and it is obviously the tail core that is higher than the back of the ranchu......
ps...keeping this little fella for experiment/learning
