#hamanishki

The big calico hamanishki is a male, and the red and white female is called a horyu (穂竜), which is a crowned pearlscale/telescope cross. I hope to incorporate a few of each type, but the horyu sell fast and I was only able to grab one 🥲

First addition to the new gang, a 5.5in female calico hamanishiki (crowned pearlscale). I'm waiting on this seller to post more fish before deciding if I'll grab one that is currently listed, or a newly listed fish. My goal is to start off with at least four adults hopefully.

Just a morning update, she’s still stuck on the bottom. I did contact Zhao and he seemed very nice and advised to follow up in a week if she doesn’t improve. I’d really like her to, but I’m admittedly not hopeful. Other than that everyone is doing well. I can’t wait to add a few more fish as well. It’s so nice to sit by the pond and watch them swim .

Sorry for the general lack of updates! Things will pick up soon enough. For now have some cute pearlscales.

She went for some food and accidentally got a mouthful of plant. I tried to let her get it out on her own but after a few minutes I gave in and helped her out.
