It isn't of course, black moly doesn't grow bigger then a few cm.. What is yours a Tinca Tinca ?(Tench)..

Realy beautifull fish you got in there..

 

[frederick thompson]

that black one Marcel is a green tench . i have two of these. they look black in the water but when they are out of the pond and in the net. they are a green black
if that make s any sense mate. up date. might as well finish it off.

this is the summer house long shot with internal lights on

down side of pond shot

ll this is going to match the house walls bricked up to same height. as new wall but the new part rendered
then painted to match

brick pier been chiseled out ready for new blocks, gap going to be filled in as well

2nd Pier been chiseled out

next photos are of the frame work for the shed. my mate is building this Shaun
it s having an apex roof. from top of wall sloping down. going to be boarded inside
and outside. so each wall will be took back down to board up. then put back.
where that back is. i am going to put a grow on tank and quarantine tank both with heating
and large florescent light above both. there my projects for the summer. so i can grow on next winter
also to treat fish in cold weather.

how the roof is coming of the wall. gaps will be boarded up

when you take photo from another angle, it is not has close to summer house
roof as the photos above that was done today all the best fred

 

[frederick thompson]

another angle of shed under summer roof

that s it folks today s work. that s for zozo marcel you little tinker you ha ha

 

[frederick thompson]

Today will be putting floor and roof in. Then see how we progress.

 

[frederick thompson]

done a salt bath on this gin rin was down on the bottom sulking for about 4 days so netted the fish
and did scrapes top and bottom and around the gills. nothing i could find, even if i had found something
i probably could nt do anything. because it is to cold for treatment. my pond aint heated. this is why mentioned above i am getting
heated tank s im my new shed build.
so when netted i salt bath the fish twice once mild diluted salt. then a stronger solution . after for the rest of the afternoon and evening was back
to swimming with the rest of the crowd. just time now and see what happens. it is a 18 inch gin rin when bought it was 17 inch. so grown an inch


thats the gin rin actually in the salt solution the first bath mild salt. then i put it in another bowl of pond water to
recover. then gave it a stronger dip

 

[frederick thompson]

3\4 boarded up inside and roof and felt on the shed done
also frame for door and wood cladding done


we had a problem how to catch the water in the gutter this is how we did it. water runs on to shed from summer house roof
and runs down shed roof into gutter. works a treat, just got to put fall pipe on

 

[frederick thompson]

walls and floor completed


Cladding board starting to go on the front

cladding boards now completed

 

[frederick thompson]

Fall pipe on gutter now fitted and door just been made and built

door now fitted

side of shed been with cladding . just a piece to go behind fall pipe to close up small gap
in between summer house and shed

a nicer angle of the completion of the shed. a grow on and quarantine to build inside now
don t know when i am doing this yet. but will be. Shaun s built one for him self. so i am going to do the same
with boards with king span in between then fiber glass the frame and boards. all on the outer and underneath. thermal warmth. and then fiber glass inside and out side
also put a 2 inch bottom drain in. and a 2 inch exit to easy pod bio filter and 2 x separate chambers with k1 inside and grog
lot s of feeding you see. be around the 900 gallon mark. run with a dry 4500 pump . and above the tank will be a large light like you
have in a fish tank but a large 1 meter strip light. and a extracter fan to take condensation away .

thats it folks all the best fred

 

[frederick thompson]

if you remember i salt bathed the ochiba gin rin . that s the fish near the pipe work
silver and brown one as you can see in the reflection of the window he is swimming like a good one again
and eating. so all s good

all the best fred

Thank s manisha. Still can t work out what had been the matter with him. Did another couple of scrapes on him still nothing. They got a good feed yesterday as the pond was reading 8 degrees. So gave them all season Aqua sauce wheat germ. Some ate some did nt.

Started the wall down side of my house. Breeze blocked this on top of bricks. This is getting rendered. Also built the piers up for strength and tieing in. Leave this for a day or to and then render. Then leave it for a month or so then masonry paint it. Start the new back way door. Tomorrow.
That s it up to date. All the best Fred.
