Oishi 2006 reverse Trio

Matsuyama x Oishi (Goldfishgarage) 3/11

Oishi female 2006

She's still alive.  I have not yet euthanized her as she did this last summer before she was sent to me.  She went down hill after a brief spawning in which her ovaries prolapsed.  They've since retracted.

The Fry Tub Wet Table

The plywood tub is on recirculating water, the fry tubs float, air is weighted with ceramic insulators and the airstone is used to slowly drain water from the fry tubs back to the recirc system.  First tub is Matsuyama x Itoh (Lains) 3/17/11,  Matsuyama x Oishi (Lains) 3/17/11, Bristol Shubunkin (Parker Strain) (Calico x Calico incross) 3/18/11.

Matsuyama x Oishi (Lains) 3/11

The female spawned in the net when I caught her. I rushed over and got the smallest drop of Oishi sperm and it was successful.

The female Matsuyama (Hater) 08 is the redhead fish and the white with red behind the head or in front of the tail are Itoh (Boss) 09.

 

Master Piece!

I received an amazing package of TVR goldfish today. They are a little different than the usual fish shipment. These were a gift from Jeff Thompson (Glassgoldfish) http://www.thompsonstudioglass.com.  It has University of Oregon yellow and green eyes.

The only other person I know of with one of these is Mr. Oishi, which in and itself is an honor.

Thanks to Kendal for his wonderful seal of the society.  He also designed the wonderful masthead at the top of this blog.

Resetting a tank

I'm resetting this tank to put the Oishi herd in. Using potassium permanganate in a pump sprayer to sterilize and wash everything down. The tank is 72x48x18 for about 270 gallons. It is on the commercial dirty fish system but I'll run it in isolation as a flow through.

Oishi 2006

It's turning into a cold November. This trio of japanese born Oishi 2006 fish is spending the fall in a 240 gallon fiberglass pond. They have a large bowl filter and tons of hornwort in the tank. The bottom is sandy and their diet is largely earthworms and Daphnia.

I love playing with goldfish in the rain. Removed the fading duckweed and did a large water change.

The smaller female had a large ulcer/fungal infection on the side but baytril injections and potassium permanganate did the trick.

Oishi female enjoying duckweed

She swims from corner to corner eating duckweed and daphnia that accumulates there by the current generated by the airstone in the center of the tank.
