Koi Babies!!! I just picked up 4 more Koi today from the local Koi breeder but first I'll post pics of the first 4 I picked up in April (?) you may have seen them in the fishy pictures above. This was when I picked them up.

These 4 where about 8" long when I got them.

Total fish count as of today is:

8 Koi (4, 8" & 4, 5")
13 Large Comets (about 8" long)
20-25 Comet babies from last year (now about 5" long) - I think I may need to find some homes for some of them.
2 Hybrids that were added to my pond by aliens at some point last year :LOL:

June 24th 2012 Pond Update.

Plants are really taking off, the fish are happy and the pond is happy, I am happy. :)

First I will post the updated yard photos:
I try and get a pic from this angle every year since the original pic of the yard was from this same view. I like to see the change every year.
