STARTING TO HATCH

[capewind]

I was just looking at the Intex pools... the 10' and 12' ones are only 30" deep, but holy cow are they short money! The Sears website has them on sale! Wishing I wasnt broke this week as I would order now!

Good thread Koiguy! Do you have updated pictures? I don't have facebook so I can't look at your links

Pecan I thought I was the only one without a FB page!

ordered brine shrimp flakes to try feeding the fry...they love them.. i'm real glad since i bought a pound of them.

That's a lot of brine shrimp!!! We have tons out here with the Great Salt Lake (it's the only living creature in that water that I know of) and I can smell them from time to time wind the wind direction shifts

I wonder if someone could just go out there with a big net to get fishie treats :ideacyclops:

 

[koiguy1969]

i imagine you could...you'd need a fine net tho.

 

[koiguy1969]

O.K... this may be my imagination but i dont think so .....i think i've had a good number of fry stolen.i found my fry (aquarium) net. not where i keep it and i swear it appears that a large number of fish have vanished...not dead floating, or on the bottom...gone!... maybe i better lock the gate! altho a 3 or 4' chain link fence isnt exactly hard to jump.

OH NO!! Maybe a frog ate them?

 

[koiguy1969]

ive not seen a frog in the fry pond in a while now...i took all but one frog to the creek. and it would gave had to been a BIG FROG...I'm talking it looks like a hundred fry disappeared.

 

[blessedfamily]

Yeah you might have a fish napper for sure. Weird really lol

 

[j.w]

Sounds like a fish napping to me...........Especially if your sure your net was moved!

Apples and oranges, but we had someone try to steal our fountain a few months ago (til they found out how heavy she was)... She is now in the backyard... All I can say is God help any SOB who goes into my backyard! Someone is almost always here, as well as a nosy & noisy big dog... Depending on whom is home will decide WHAT item(s) the yard is defended with!

That sucks! koiguy, sorry to hear that. We have great neighbors that pay attention. And I am almost always here, with loaded guns.............

 

[koiguy1969]

YEAH..MY FAULT..THE FRY POND IS LIKE 3 STEPS FROM THE GATE...PLAIN VEIW...CHAIN LINK FENCE...COULDNT BE EASIER. I EVEN KEEP A LARGE AQUARIUM NET HANGING THERE... WINDOWS ARE ALL CLOSED,AIR CONDITIONING IS ON! STILL BAKING HOT AROUND HERE...103* TOMMOROW.

Must be someone that knows the value of koi fry too, and your pretty babies caught their eye.
