How are your Koi Fry Doing?

[koiguy1969]

Mine are in the 3/4-1" range at 3 weeks old...some an inch....so theyre at least "on schedule"

I actually had a customer who just had to have 2 of mine yesterday. I told them I prefer to wait till they are 12 weeks, but they insisted and I gave in. They also bought a bunch of pond plants and will be back for more later.
It looks like they are about to spawn again, that makes 3 times in just over 2 months. I am going to keep an eye on them and get some video.

My last spawn have hatched. I have them in a tub outdoors to see how they will do. This time I used a mortar and pestle to grind both pellet and flake to use as their first food. I want to see the difference from live brine shrimp.

Let us know if any get eaten.
I have been putting my cull into a larger tank and I have a 10" in there that eats them as fast as he sees them.
These are fry that are not going to make it anyway.
