Nice looking set up DR Case. Very pretty pond and fish

My fish are chasing constantly now. The pond is a cool 60, does not seem to be bothering the chase at all. Two dropped eggs yesterday, well I assume they did the chase ended mid day.

NOT high quality fish, but of the babies I got the beginning of Dec, we have a few Gin Rins (not the colors being discussed). Wishing I understood what to look for better in the Gin Rins, as I plan to keep/grow out a few of them. Not looking for show quality, just want pretty variety for our pond.

Will post a few pics as thumb nails if anyone wants to see them... Dont want to hi-jack the thread.
Could you PM me with an address where they came from my Canadian friend has no koi deelership where she is and is desperately looking for some nice koi for her pond .

Dr case yu are a Pappy congratulations lol just you wait till you see what we bought a few weeks back (got to get our IT guy Jon out to look at the damn scanner and printer first as yet again ours isnt working then if he cant fix it I'll get a photo done by Jon of it).
I kid you not you will be a tad envious of it lol.
We love it its made a good home with th rest of our brood .
By the way I love the spawning pond sort of a pond within a pond plus we'd have never thought of using pine, is there a particular reason for this ?

Things are going good with the fry , I feed them about 10 times a day

I got some pics of my showa main pond and the fry pond
The mother pond has a 2400 gph feeding a 100 gal skippy
the fry pond has a 600 gph pump that feeds a filter then dumps into the mother pond
So the fry get 600 gph out of the1600 gal mother pond through the spill way
