Sad day....my 24" Ki Utsuri jumped the pond today. When I found it, it was still alive, but missing most of it's scales and had been flopping around on the searing hot deck for while. I put it in a salt bath to make a slime coat since she had many abrasions, and for a while, she looked ok and swam around. When I checked on her an hour later, she was a goner.... Drats, I'm really bummed, she was filled with eggs, and I was hoping for some really pretty fry from her and a white butterfly male. ugh....
