Just wanted to post some update pics. These are the five koi I adopted from calicochris last month. I had them in a q-pond for 3 1/2 weeks. They seem to really like thier bigger digs and new family to swim with. Cool front came through last night so they are hanging low at the moment but its a site see them play follow the leader around the pond. They now accociate me with food. Thank you again Chris.

koidaddy those are some nice size fish. Do they always hang out together or are they just doing the group photo thing.

I also see your BD, did you paint the pvc or is it just covered with algae now?

Im thinking its due to the temp drop outside. Come afternoons they are swimming around near the surface.
Both on the BD, painted flat black.

Koidaddy - thanks so much for posting these pictures!!! I'm missing them and was thinking about them and wondering how they were doing. I'm sure they are much happier in your much larger pond! Thanks again for taking such good care of them. I hope they bring you as much joy as they did me!
