My butterfly koi barbells are slightly smaller than my other regular koi.

The red one, with that one face picture, looks like very tiny barbells, maybe
The white and orange one has the same body shape

Well that shows you what the internet knows right?

awww jw all on the net is the truth and nothing but the truth!

Koi ... not Koi .... either way, they are beautiful fish. My Koi don't bother any plants in my pond except the Chocolate Mint. They eat the crap out of that.

they are beautiful, they are staying lol, I have so many plants in the pond even if they nibble on some, I don't think they will wipe out the crowd of them. The hyacinths have roots hanging down for them to enjoy.

Ok Sissy are you playing around with your signature pics? In the other thread I kept trying to click on your pics but couldn't get them to open and now there is just one pic?

She did have a nice line up of pictures, now just snow lol.

I will keep an eye on the plants see how they do, with those guys. Just groomed them all today, the pots are all root bound.

Well I can tell you the only problem I have with the butterfly and fancy tails are they like to root in the pots the plants are in .Guess there might be tadpoles in there they are after .But addy you really did get some nice fish there .

Aren't the butterfly koi supposed to be much calmer then the other types of koi? Maybe they won't do much damage.
