so i was in the pond today trimming lillies and such... i can walk in there now the slippery stuff went away ..anyways, i had a hard time doing it because i had 50 fry trying to eat the hair on my legs. i can only assume they thought it was string alge. it tickled so much i was struggling to not laugh. and when i would reach in to shoo them away they wanted to play with my hand. this went on for 20 minutes or so when i should of been done in 5 or 6 minutes. what a curious and playfull lot. gotta love 'em!!! the big guys hang around but dont try to eat me any more, i missed that! just thought i'd share that little annecdote.

What a funny image koiguy! It made me laugh out loud just picturing you in there with all your babies suckling on their mama!

Too cute!

The fry I have in the ponds are all developing nice colors. I think I will leave them till the spring and pull them out before the next spawn.
