Never in a million years did i think i would be petting my fish with
my finger. It was cool and definately a first! Guess he missed me.

It's the ultimate sign that you have earned the trust of your fish, and that
they are letting you in their life! The first time mine let me, I went
crazy for joy.

I achieved my contact by bribery though. I had something they couldn't
resist...orange!

I went to the store and forgot to get an orange! I have never given
them any, but i'm sure after letting me pet him (only one right now)
he'll get anything i think he'll like. ....I did not intend to get
attached to a fish!! (Ok, i hear this faint roaring laughter and head
shaking going on) Lord help me if something gets him...

WAY COOL!

I was told by guy I buy my fish from to always make sure hands are WET
before touching fish (protects their slime coat)

Have you named your fish? Anyone here name their fish?

But of COURSE I've named my fish. Well, the seven adult koi all have names.
I haven't named the babies from last year's harvesting yet, nor any of the
goldfish. I DO have my limits, you know. LOL

You cut it into four, and throw it in there one quarter at a time, and stand
back. You may want to bring in the babies first since it will get UGLY!
Make sure you pull out the left over (Peels only is left, I'm a amazed how
they can skin the orange!)

If yours are not used to oranges, it may take while for them to get going.
Hold off on feeding them for like 2-3 days, and then they will be good and
ready to eat whatever you have!

In a country where you can stick the word "anti-bacterial" on anything, and
thousands of germphobic morons will fork over billions of dollars annually
so they can constantly bath the good and bad bacterial in low doses of
antibiotics and help raise the resistance level.

And yet in the same country we've got porgers who willingly stick their
hands into stagnant water filled with fish poop, rotting algae and barley
straw, and then tell all their online friends that they touched a fish
covered in mucus-like-slime.

To quote Russian comic, Yakov Smirnoff, "What a country!"



Sameer

how big do the fish need to be??

is it just koi? or do goldfish eat this?

can they get sick by eating it too often?
