Gemma's babies

[Gemma]

Wow, so beautiful.....I can't wait to follow their along on this thread and watch them grow

Thanks!
The two 1yr olds have already changed a lot. Drake is a Kin Kikokuryu like Gaia, only difference he is silver and yellow, the black is starting to develop this year and I imagine the white will too. I don't have good pics of him, but I will keep on trying.
I have pic of the orange I call "Jello" you can see when I purchased him/her it was yellow and the "zipper" along the back was just coming in. (The solid yellow you see in the pic is Star! I've decided to leave her in the other pond so I have yellow there too)I hope it's not too confusing.

What a beauty! Yep she has it all, the sun, the blue sky and the white clouds!

Wow! You're good! I thought of the sunny sky , but the clouds never even crossed my mind!

I really like the yellow ones! My pond is too small for koi -- I read that there are canary yellow goldfish - I might have to look into that. Your koi are lovely!

Thank you! I'm hoping to take better pics someday.
How exciting it is to be waiting for the arrival of new fish huh?
I'm done doing that, I have 20 koi and 2 shubbies, and I think 11 fish x pond is the very max I want to have

The very last fish I purchased is a blue Kujaku I decided to try thanks to you posting about yours
I named him/her Sky, you can see why

Gemma. i'm looking forward to your reports on how your fish develop as they grow. It's very exciting when the colors get stronger and the fish get more dramatic looking. I haven't been too active here because of our Asia trip but will start posting more stuff on my blog on my goldfish pond blog. I have gotten very bit by the Koi bug. We will see how things develop in my pond this year. Good luck with your beautiful fish!!!

I'd never heard of A yellow goldfish but I guess they do exist.

The yellow goldfish once illegal to keep, is a modern day splash!

Goldfish have been domesticated for thousands of years, but there is always something new or not so new with this amazing group of fish!

I have a couple yellow goldfish in my pond. Bought them at William Trickers.

Not the best pictures but you can see the yellow compared to the orange fish.

Pretty yellow!

I was finally able to put plants in the plant pool of the new (unfinished) pond. Now they just need to grow.
I have : Taro, Umbrella Palm, Hyacinth, Iris, Pickle rush, Impatient, Hosta, Water Lily, Water Marigold, a Bengal Tiger Canna, Cardinal Lobelia, creeping Jenny and a bit of algae

In case I haven't said it, the pond cover is temporary, we will make it nicer once we're done fencing in the court...I can't believe it's been a year and this pond is still not done!

That build is looking great!

 

[Tula]

It looks beautiful and soon it'll be lush ! I'm excited for you

Thank you!
Your water Lily are both coming along great, and they're special, cause I got'em from you

It looks beautiful and soon it'll be lush ! I'm excited for you

Thank you!
Being the first year I really don't know what and if it's going to all work out, but my hopes are up, way up!

The Heron has been stopping regularly even though it really can't get to the fish. It'd be great if it left me a few frogs

This is the new aluminum extrusion frame that support the mesh! Now all we need to do is trim the mesh and put the capping stones in place

Nice job!
