Re: [GSAS-Member] baby koi can JUMP

["Connie Carlson" <nwconniec@hotmail.com>]

Darn those jumpers!  So sorry Betty.  He was big!  I do have one blondie 
that might be close in size, and it makes me want to go home right now and 
cover my koi tank.

I am pretty sure I lost one earlier this year the same way out of the 50 gal 
stock tank by the way; from playing in a powerhead stream and getting a 
little too carried away is my guess.  Never did find the carcass though; 
just never saw him again.  I figure once he jumped either the cats or the 
raccoons grabbed him, even from under the net.  SO hard to lose a fish that 
way!  The Paradise fish seem to share this penchant for leaping from their 
digs, and I have lost several of them lately too because of it.

Ah well, the tragedies of fishkeeping are hopefully balanced out by the 
triumphs, and I say getting him to 1 & 3/4 inches in the first place 
qualifies for that.

Keep the rest of yours growing; I remember seeing SEVERAL pretty big ones in 
your tank!  Just THREE WEEKS left...  ;+)

CHeers,
Connie
