Default Shishu Koi

Hi Bill,
I'll answer your question - don't know that Lisa will see it.
The auction was in St. Louis last week at our regular pond club meeting.
I wasn't able to attend but I hear there were some marvelous
things there.

At last month's meeting/auction, I purchased one Shishu Koi and two

Butterfly
Shishu Koi. I placed them in a quarantine tank and the very next day,

one
of
them spawned.

Needless to say, within a few days, I had probably a couple hundred

babies
swimming around. The babies are still in the quarantine tank with

floating
hyacinths & parrots feather.

- Any idea how many might develop into butterfly Koi?
- How long does it take to develop butterfly fins if that's what they

are?
- Is algae enough for them to eat or should I also feed them something

else?
- What do I do with all these babies?

Thanks!

Lisa
