Yeppers..... ...are you going???....

Been Growin out LOTSO fish for the past 8 months or so for the upcoming swaps.
Im going............If I can get a table or two.
I hoping to bring a BUNCH of  dollar plus.......... KOI,  a variety from the  pinoy Clown/clown pair, a variety of Darks.................and a big variety and whole mess of quarter sized angels. Plans are NOT to bring any back home with me.

Any idea as to  How many, and what sized tanks they allow per table?

I've seen (2) 30's...but I'd bring a 2 X 4 'stick' support for the table middle section, if you're going multiples.....I've done (2) 20's....and three 10's..with no problems.....remember you'll have to haul the water with you too.....there was a guy with 55's???......

[EdKaz]

.remember you'll have to haul the water with you too.

Hauling water there will be the EASY part.....I have a couple of these here,(one with a LARGE top opening) and access to a HEATED trailer.


Ill fill one up in the basement a day before, heat it, age it........pump it to one in the trailer the morning of the swap..............fill it full of fish(free swimming as well as bagged to keep em all warm) turn on the air pumps(running off of inverters) .......... and hit the road

I could/should have extra water on hand.

[Mugwump]

LOL....it'd be nice if you brought and extra 50 gallons... ...then I wouldn't have to haul much either  .....you'll still need buckets to get it inside, with a dolly, etc....

[EdKaz]

 If I can get a couple tables, I can bring you some water if you want.
As Far as buckets....... I have a 45 gal garbage can,or even a 40 gal Tote I can stick on a 4 wheeled cart, and a 12volt bilge pump I have here to move a bunch of the water quick.

Thanx Ed, ...I'm sure there will be a couple available....not the best date for a swap tho...right before Xmas....the one at the end of January might be OK.....but the April swap should be a great one...

[EdKaz]

.not the best date for a swap tho...right before Xmas

ANY date is good for a swap at this point for me....As you know, Ive grown out a BUNCH to see whats what in the fish I got earlier this year.

They have grown.....and I have seen. I picked out a couple handfuls of keepers for a couple projects.

LOTS of nice fish leftover after I picked MINE.... but long term keeping 200-300 prebreeders and or adults was never my intention, nor do I want to keep feeding these pig like eating and crapping machines

A LOT of these fish have started pairing off, making for a constant source of entertainment.....BUT I HAVE to move a BUNCH of fish out to make room for my "chosen ones"

Lately, its been like a new pair each day
Like THIS one I just noticed as I was typing this ......

[Rjb3]

Eating and crapping machines. LOL You are correct.

They are good looking fish.

[Mugwump]

Looking real nice there Ed.....

[EdKaz]

 That pair is dutifully defending their eggs (so far) from their 6 tank mates..... including 3 I got from the "other side of the tracks".  Twas a bit of a culture shock for the 3 poor souls when I tossed em in with the Hoi Polloi Koi here.....  but they are coming around now.

[wsantia1]

I agree those are some real nice looking Koi.

Thanks for the compliments on the fish, they do come from some might fine stock
