Hi BV - thanks for your usual 'real' answer. You definitely do your part to
keep the levity factor up in this group. And no it isnt the chlorine. I
have cut my daily additions down to almost nothing since I have been doing
the PP treatments.
I did finally stumble upon a pic of my fish. It's an Orange Crown
Pearlscale.
Thanxx

I still wasnt very brief but after BV politely asking "What was your
question now", I will at least try to limit my questions if not
information
per post. These three are not as 'serious'.
1) Soaking food? The Medi Koi are a little larger than most of my food
and
very hard like little rabbit pellets. The fishies seemed to be avoiding
it
at first so I got the bright idea to soak it to make it easier to eat.
Either that is working or they are just more desperate since they are only
getting that right now. Am I soaking away the medication? and your
thoughts
about soaking food in general. It is sinking but I also have some regular
'hard' pellets which are floating for past and future use.
Sorry I just cant help myself
1a) I have seen numerous references to Romet B but found nothing
specifically called that, hence the Medi Koi which is Romet 30 or Romet
B30
or something like that and something else. Same or similar stuff? Where?
2) The pearl scale? Are any of you familiar with my 'hybrid'. It is all
light orange tending towards flesh colored rather than GF colored. I
bought
it as a pearl scale - the rotund body and large fan tail but the head is
quite different than other pics I have since seen of pearl scales, which
seem very triangular ryunkin-like. Mine is very round, almost looks like
cartoons of baby dinosaurs without the extended nose. It also has a
significant oranda like head mass (wen?) which is a little darker orange.
VERY slow swimming compared to the comets.
3) White comets? I have a feeder who is now 3-4 inches which has been
about
50/50 white and orange. I have been expecting several small white feeders
and it to eventually turn orange but this one seems to be fading out the
orange and becoming all white. Does this happen also or do I have yet
another worry wart to harbor.

I cant help it, the devil made me do it still had to squeeze 4+ questions
in
here. At least I got to the questions a little quicker right?
Thanxx yet again and again and................
