GOOD grief

 So I kinda sorta got things set up in fishroom version 2.15.
The dust has finally settled...... for now. Gonna TRY to stick with just 15 Tanks for pairs and grow outs...bout 800 gallons worth, and a dedicated egg/fry section to hold another 5-10 2 1/2's and 5's.

The Pairs and "pairing" section......


A picked up a handful of nice looking breeder sized fish, and 3 MAYBE 4 pairs in the past week or two to help get things restarted here.

Im starting to wonder if someone hasnt been slipping ruffies or fishy egg ex-lax in my tanks as Ive been busy getting things set back up. ??? ???

Had a mugwump ghost pair lay just hours after bringing them home and putting them in their new home....They ate that batch of eggs.

Had a new pair of Mugwump Kois lay Fri........we have wigglers. Not a huge batch, only a few dead eggs in the bunch


Had a pair of Pinnoy (and who knows what else is in there) lay Sat am.....eggs look good should go wiggling later today

Sipping on coffee and looking over the tanks, the Ghost pair I got from Mugwump are AGAIN vigorously cleaning the slate since last night, tubes down(hoping theyll lay BEFORE I have to leave for the Drs this afternoon so I can pull THIS batch)


I also have another pair......look like a Blue Smokey and another Pinnoy (clown?) mixture of some sort, they too have been swimming around with tubes down and cleaning a slate since last night.


Gonna have to crank some mood music so the two pairs will git r done before noon and I have to leave, so  I can pull the slates :-\

Its going to be HARD not to pull out some more tanks and set em back up with parent fish as nice looking as the ones I picked up pounding the slates as fast as these fish have.

Im blamng YOU John.....every time I see you and your beautiful fish, your passion for them is like a fan blowing over  a flickering flame or some smoldering embers and POOF.....just like that...... all hell breaks loose, fish start makin babies and stored tanks keep coming out.( The voices in my head keep whispering   must exercise more self control........and if you cant do that....get the nail gun back out and have some target practice).

Meanwhile the wife just looks at me, rolls her eyes , shrugs...and says "AGAIN?..you said only a FEW tanks"

What an adventure Ed, thanks for including us.  From the looks of it, you are having a wonderful time!

Talk about "welcome back to the hobby".....Lol.   ;)
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Looking good, Ed....I'm glad that you're in the swing of things again,  ;D ...the koi spawn is likely their first one.....most of their siblings are parent raising too....quick count, you've got a couple hundred there ;D....I've got some Sunset/Koi veils growing out to cross into that line....stay tuned, I'll slip you some of them too ;D......save me a few of the PB/Pinoy fry....I'll swap you some from my line to cross over too... ;D
