Need help - suicidal shubunkans
Help! My shubunkans are jumping out of my barrel pond. I knew I'd lost
a shubunkan over vacation but figured it was ammonia or something. There was no way to find a corpse in the green water so I didn't know what happened. I bought three more and put them in the pond on Friday. All 3 were alive and accounted for Sunday. Today, I could only find two. I finally looked on the ground, and there were two dead jumpers. Do shubunkans commonly jump? Do I need netting over the barrel with them? If so, how do I handle the marginals and water lettuce which are sticking up out of the barrel? Please help! I don't want to find any more dead fish on the ground. Also, while I'm on the subject of shubunkans, one fish is constantly chasing the other. I can't figure out whether it's aggression or mating behavior. Will this stress out the chasee, and would a third fish help? (Assuming I can keep it in the barrel and off the concrete.) Thanks for any advice. -- __ Elaine T __ __' http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |
