Great pics, Matt! OMG, what did you say when you nephew dumped all that food in? I'm sure you can't post it here. LOL But, good that you took your time cleaning it all out. Bet you were worried for your babies, I can only imagine, after all the hard work you have spent on them.
I see lots of black spots on the babies, too, so hoping for a Sanke or Showa to come out of them yet! Love seeing your pics, and reading your stories. Thanks again for sharing it all with us.

I told him go tell ur mom what u did their not the best parents so its basically my fault for inviting them over to eat and swim it's not his first time dumping tanks he dumped a bottle of pills n my bros fluval edge so I should of seen it coming but it's all good one loss is better then yelling at a child tht doesn't get it. Stuff happens I guess I wanna get a big female Showa one day when I give my bro all my metallic koi I'm gonna try to keep breeding them just to show everyone it can be done it's not easy but it's def rewarding.

Thank you very much I use crayfish trays for alotta my fish tank games as my bro calls em I'm starting to get some really nice colors n my 55 and when I check the ones outside tht were solid yellow when I put them about 10 of them are now getting spotting and patches gotta say I def have a few winners show winners no but winners none the less now I just wish I could of pulled more eggs out the pond but honestly who would of thought it was this easy lmao it is time consuming I'm gonna have to take a trip up to Hammond n drop some off with Larkin soon I def wanna see how his fry are doing better pics now and alot of em enjoy

Hard to tell in pic but this guy shows alot of promise

All the pics u see that look a little blue is because they are under my reef lights whack is about 22k which is blue it's what colors tht make it from the sun at about 15-40ish feet under water in the ocean all I know about raising koi I learned on other pals posts on forums so thank u ppl on this site as well as many others keep documenting your progress and I'll do the same

Yyea the colors dad are making it interesting again for those keeping score their are now 72 koi outside about half are solid yellow other half are solid white or multi color yellow and black or white and black and white and yellow but who knows they can change a few times b4 they stay a color or pattern but I kept the ones I like the most inside but the quality of the ones I take out side is eating better and better I'd call the 7 I put out today pond quality if they stay the same color they are now who knows here's a top shot of the outside guys it's kinda clearing up so I figured id snap a few shots And share can I get this post stickeyed please an pics they are all about an inch to an inch and a quarter
