Hello, I have a large pond with both koi and goldfish. We just drained it to redo the liner and shrink the pond so it is manageable. In doing so, I found several surviving young hybrids. Some do actually have some (minimal) color. Anyone want to confirm they are hybrids? I think most look typical. I also have one tiny goldfish (or koi?) that I have in a tank. I feed it quality food such as bloodworms and dried shrimp. It won't grow though. I am sure most would have culled it but I think it is the only thing that might be a pure koi (or goldfish) and am rather invested in the little guy. I had 3 more like him but they all died. What do you think of these guys?

oh no- so that means they will all probably be able to breed? Is that right? :(
