      I keep removing tadpoles from the Ochiba/Kohaku spawn and they are growing it's a little difficult to see them around the sponge filter but they are there. With the Shiros my plans are too remove the spawning media to another tank and dump all the eggs in the spawning tank sanitized and return the media to the spawning tank with water from the fry pool with one of the sponge filters from the other tank. That spawn it's fairly easy to cull since one only keeps the black fry. Name:  20250413_123137_resized.jpg

      Cleaned the spawning tank the best I could and removed about 2lbs of loose eggs I guess the possums are going to have a feast tonight and refilling the tank with fresh water and will add the spawning media to the tank and we wait. Name:  20250413_170653.jpg

      I hope the varmints did a good job. I once had a big female lay her eggs in an all-girl pond. So I netted the eggs and tossed them back in the woods. When I got home from work the next day, the whole yard smelled like rotten eggs. Guess they did not eat them, or at least not enough of them.

      We should start seeing any hatching from the last Saturday spawn any time the night temperatures have somewhat lower am suspecting that could be slowing down the hatching time but remember my only goal with this spawn was to purge the female.

      Very good growth Orlando! I tried green water last year, and found it to be very helpful. Thanks for the update!

      Forgive me if I overlooked it, but do you have an estimate on total number of fry? Any thoughts on what criteria you'll use for the first round of culling?
