I feel kinda guilty always talking about koi so I thought theses two deserve a thread.... the colors are way better in reality, but anyway these are my 2 Shubbies, the oldest fish in my pond
I love the long fins

The fake Heron is a great decor, but will not stop the real one from coming you know that right?I can hardly wait for Spring when I will get my first Shubunkins for my newly finished pond. Just had Koi before. I need a big fake Great Blue Heron first though...
Oh dear. Around here everyone with a pond has one and we have been told that GBH are solitary birds and won't go where there are others. Do they wade into ponds or swoop dpwn from above and grab fish? Gemma your fish are beautiful!The fake Heron is a great decor, but will not stop the real one from coming you know that right?

Gemma. Those Shubunkins are gorgeous! I have several pretty shubunkin babies in my pond right now probably not more than an inch long. I hope they make it okay through the winter.I feel kinda guilty always talking about koi so I thought theses two deserve a thread.... the colors are way better in reality, but anyway these are my 2 Shubbies, the oldest fish in my pond

Gemma, I have a few shubunkins but they never got large like yours. How did it grow so big? I feed my fish as much they can eat in a few minutes once or twice a day but never overdo it with food.Just to give an idea on the size the baby koi in this pic is between 5" and 6" long
