Re: [GSAS-Member] Where are the Koi from?

So Shango,

What do your fry look like so far, and how big are they?  Mine are still 
growing like weeds and continue to morph their color patterns.  The one of 
mine that got its mugshot in the newsletter due to his extreme white 
coloring is now only about 1/3 to 1/2 white, and has a nice blaze of orange 
and a blaze of black over the dorsal aspect.  He/she is definitely the most 
colorful to date of my brood, although the outside ones I havent seen in a 
bit.  The koi are still a source of entertainment in my waters...  ;+)

At the risk of beating a dead thread beyond even the remotest of interest, 
my crazy frog/froglets/tads still continue to amuse me too.  I find it very 
odd that they seem to be able to decide when to morph.  How could it be that 
only one of my 4 has emerged and is eating fruit flies/crickets, another has 
some serious back legs but no fronts, and the other two are still completely 
tads? Very weird!  They have been good for the algae but not surprisingly 
the algae is growing faster than they can eat it; time for some peroxide it 
seems.  And just for the record, if these are bullfrogs I will eat them 
myself; that cricket-eater is a pipsqueak and if he is a bullfrog I might 
have the smallest bullfrog ever measured!  Have we figured out what they are 
yet?

This may be a less-than-intelligent question, and I think it is primarily 
directed at Tom so sorry if it is Tom, but is that one ounce of H2O2 per 10 
gallons of actual water or the rating of the tank?  In other words, would I 
be risking overdosing if I put in about 3 ounces for a 29 gallon tank, even 
though when I filled it the first time I only put in 23 gallons?  And 
less-than-intelligent question #2 - can I use a shot glass as an accurate 
enough measure of one ounce?  I dont think I have anything else around that 
has that volume calibrated!

OK, I think I have used up my dumb comment and question quotas for the 
year...

Cheers,
Connie
