Baby fantails

[~ jan JJsPond.us]

The other day I was doing maintenance in my lily pond and found baby
fantails. So cute. This year I put in all orange & white fantails, 2
ryunkins of which one is male, a female panda moor and a female oranda. He
has 3 ladies to chose from, what a lucky guy. ;o)

Anyway, I'm amazed that many of the babies have black spots. Due to pH
troubles my water hasn't been as clear this year, so I have no idea how
many I have at this time, but some are already an inch long. I just love
this part of ponding, makes all that hard work of putting in the lily pond
worth it. ~ jan

Hi Sue,

I have a few fantails in with some comets and shibunkin. I think they are a
blast to watch as they seem to be doing a furious motion to move along at
such a slow pace. I have a skimmer and haven't had anything other than
gambusia and my turtle in it off and on, but I don't think it really hurts
them. Does your skimmer have a net so they can be in there without getting
caught in the pump? If so I would say no problem.

It does take a while for them to be able to compete for food, but once they
figure it out, they seem pretty competitive and able to get enough to eat.

Joe

Sue, I'd normally agree w/Joe, as most fantails do manage, though single
tailed goldfish can be very hard on them come spawning time.

What you describe with this particular fantail though sounds like it would
do better in the barrel, rather than have the stress of trying to keep up
with the group or entering the skimmer daily. ~ jan

Jan, I'll see what I can do to get her/him out of this stressful situation.
