Friday's coffee...MMmm

[Mugwump]

This cup of coffee is just so good, I think that I'll have another...    Messy weekend...colder/warmer/rain/ice/ wind.....but busy here....water changes, move a dryer to #3 son's house, putz'n, a new primer button for the Toro....a couple good naps??

Good morning. My coffee is good today too.  After being sunny and in the 40s yesterday we are back down into the 20s today.   The weekend calls for temps in the 60s.. Water changes on tap today along with some culling . I guess it's a necessary evil.

Yes, unfortunately not all fry make the cut...last couple here have been very difficult, there weren't any clear issues with any of them......but the tiniest ones are the 'no-brainers' most times, and even those can blossom after the first couple tank separation moves.....usually females too....I've culled and ended up with a rotten female/male ratio because I culled a few too many 'small' ones....but I've become more cautious over the years....

I can see that happening because my females tend to be a little behind the boys with respect to size especially early on.

I start looking for flat bellies as early as discernible.....it'll give you a fight'n chance...
