[GSAS-Member] shubunkins rescue update - Monday

[haika@drizzle.com]

I stopped to take a look at the pond this morning and don't see any more
fish in there. A few may still be lurking, and I'll keep checking, but I
think a majority of them are rescued. Looks like close to 50 fish came out
of that pond in total.

17 are small - around 1.5" and I'm holding them in a 10 gallon tank doing
50% daily water changes. The sponge filter in there won't be able to
handle all that nitrogenous waste since I am feeding these little ones!!!!
I can hold these till the next meeting....and bring in what I don't want
to keep (probably at least 10-12 babies). And I'm keeping the prettiest
ones (wink).

The rest will go to my ex-neighbor on Friday unless other arrangements are
made. I'd REALLY like to keep the big shubunkins but I have no room for
such large fish (sigh). They are gorgeous! This isn't the time in my life
to start setting up big Rubbermaid stock ponds which will just have to be
moved when I find my new place (sigh).
