"Elaine T" wrote in message . .. Reel McKoi wrote: "George" wrote in message news:_qbbe.19132$NU4.13234@attbi_s22... Hi all. Well, I was feeding my fish today and noticed that there was a little munchkin lurking about in the mid-level of the pond. I kneeled down to get a closer look and discovered that it is a goldfish (just now starting to change color from its baby black) fingerling about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long. Now, my goldfish haven't spawned yet this year as far as I know. They spawned last year at about this time of year or maybe a little later, and it took the surviving fry all summer to reach the size of this one. Where it came from is a mystery. I haven't seen any others in the pond. last years' brood are about 3 times the size of this one. He appears to be healthy. I checked all the typical hiding places that the fry congregated in last year, and found nothing. This one has apparently be in there for a little while, as it is swimming with the rest like it belonged. Strange goings on down in the deeps! ========================== I have a similar oddball in my mid size pond. All I have in there are shubunkins and koi - but I suddenly spotted a dark brown GF about 1' long. Duh! I'm clueless as to where it came from since the regular comets are behind the house. It must have been an egg that stuck to my hands or .....??!??!?!?!?!? I think I remember reading on a shubunkin breeding page that shubunkins can sometimes throw a brown GF revertant. Maybe that's where it came from. Now George's is REALLY a mystery. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com Yeah, especially since none of my fish have yet to exhibit any mating behavior this spring. I'm going to have to wait to investigate it further since the weather is supposed to turn nasty for the next couple of days. I'm going to have to dismantle the waterfall and see if there are others hiding in there. Who'd have thought that the new messiah would be a goldfish? :-)

... And where are all those darned Jehovah's Witnesses when we actually need them? I really hope that i never come to the point where I NEED a JW. Reminds me of a joke: What do you get if you cross a Jehovas Witness with a Truck driver? Someone that knocks on your door every Sunday morning and tells you to F off!!!!  -- Kind Regards Cameron
