They aren't fry anymore, they are fish that you can actually see now, cool as can be :lol:

well I've got 40 in the tub..spotted about 8 - 10 swimming around in the big pond, this morning. dont know how many if any are in the roots of my hyacinth ring or watercress ring. which by the way is a huge success in that the fish are eating the over growth on it rather than ly lillies, atleast for now. i'm guesing i'll have a dozen atleast more than whays in the tub. ...not bad for not trying this year.

neat koiguy, congrats on the health of your lil ones.
They are looking good! Isn't it so much fun watching them from the very start?!?!? I love it. But I am Koi Krazy!! LOL I spend so much time just looking down in the water at them and watching them eat. I am still at the translucent stage in color. So about all I can see is their bellies fill up with Brine shrimp and turn red. Keep posting the pics. I know I will never get tired of looking at them!

theyre so used to seeing me and "my hands especially" either dumping in live, or breaking up the brine shrimp cubes. hand feeding was automatic.they were at the surface before my fingers hit the water....should have shot a clip, maybe tommorrow.

nope it aint too late.. if shes got a belly full of eggs. they can still spawn.. a little encouragement may help things along..like a water change, some koi clay or some koivital.. i had goldfish spawn in August!

I'm so jealous, I love the one with the bright yellow head and the dark body, I've noticed him in the pics and the video. My lone little Dumplin that I rescued is still getting bigger. up to about three inches long now and getting a lot more black on it, I wish I could get a decent pic of it, It's surprising how much he has changed in just a couple of months, look like you have several that will make many changes in the months to come.
