Elopichthys Bambusa - Yellow Cheek Carp

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Still have all 6?
Lost one the first week. Didn't acclimate well in the new environment. Second week, one starved to death before I realized it. Went and bought feeders right away. Don't know where the third went. No body can be found. That leaves me with three remaining.

Bummer about those losses but the 3 you have left seem to be flourishing,

Live and learn. I probably could have prevented the losses. They are pretty sensitive. So when people say fishes will be fine not eating, take it with a grain of salt.
Yes, the three are doing good once I figured them out.

Can I ask for an all-pond landscape photo, Ken?
I'm interested in your jump-control measures.
Nothing fancy. All I have is a 4feet high plastic netting/fencing held up with rebar around the perimeter of the pond.
Looks fugly.

Can we see? Is it cement or a stock-tank? The rounded bottom with gravel looks really good, and safe for "energetic" critters.
Ugly is relative, better than smelling fish or feeding racoons :)
I wanna see your filter re-entry, too - the bubble/splash is great from underwater.

Re. (fantastic) pics: are you submerging a running GoPro or have tamed the fish so you can take the images?

May have overlooked this info in the thread so far but are they alone in the pond now? Mahseer all gone?
