My old timers decided to produce a nice sized spawn in a community tank. I needed to scramble to get a 2.5g set up so I could pull them. I managed to pull them and hopefully they will survive through the ordeal they will need to get through over the next 2 weeks. huh

Since my Koi are on their last breeding legs I really would like to save this spawn.Unfortunately I moved all of the previous offspring either through sales or gifts. mim mim mim

Even though this pair has parent raised in the past my choice was to pull them or let them become caviar.  huh

I've been feeding them the blackworm that are usually reserved for my Altums. They gave me a nice spawn.

If everything goes just right they should free swim before I move them. I'm moving most of my maint stuff on May 4th.
