What has been going on with the goldfish ?

 


Well not much has been going on with the goldfish as much as everything else 
around the world like no tomorrow, but we won't go there either wrong blog.

I can say they have grown & I just brought them in from the outside stock tank 
& my orange & black goldfish is losing it's black & turning all orange on me.

I'm glad I have them back inside so I can keep a eye on them & watch them 
grow, they may not be old enough to breed yet but maybe I may get lucky.

But on ANOTHER note while I wait for the goldfish to get of age to breed 
I started another stock tank with the wild fish we catch to eat to clean out.

So Far the only fish that I 've been able to grow is brim & creek chubs,
I've tried catfish, perch, bass & it's not working but carp does good. hum?

That may change next year who knows, I'm not giving up cause raising 
the fish I can catch for a few months is cleaning them out from a wild 
taste to stock  pond fed with clear clean water & fed goldfish food &
freeze dried worms & shrimp, it takes a few days to convert them over 
but at some time they will start eating unless they refuse to eat at all.

Right now I've managed to keep 4-5 so far for any length of time &
growing good & I have them in a 30 gal LONG aquarium with a few 
chubs my neighbor caught for me & their all doing good together.

I may put them in a 55 gal next year, depends on how fast they will 
grow & how dirty the tank gets but I do have a carp in both tanks 
the stock tank & the 30 gal, cause they are a good bottom feeder.

I'm not going to hold you up just thought I'd drop a post about 
what's going on with the goldfish so I'll let you go till next time
Thank You for stopping by have a great safe day-evening bye 👋
