Oh wow!! Thanks so much for everyone’s responses! Sigh, guess I have to face the fact that the lady lied about all our fish being shubies when we bought them, think I knew it deep down. Still love ‘em… hopefully their offspring will take on more shubie traits
The dark fingerling is starting to change colour quite rapidly now, I think every day he looks a little bit different (more light, bronze-ish patches on his face). I think the lighter one will probably have the serasa comet/goldfish look… I was able to take some photos, but please excuse the quality! It’s nowhere near as beautiful as addy1’s gorgeous photos/fish

Your pond looks massive! So many beautiful fishies and the water is brilliantly clear… i’m in awe and a little jelly
We have quite a small pond… was initially meant to just be part of a water feature and wanted fish to manage the mosquito population, well, we loved the fish just more and more and now I want it all!! but we don’t have the space, so I’ll live vicariously through y’all ☺️
