Default ? baby koi

John,\

I have a 150 gallon stock tank that I used last year and am using again this
year. It has the strawberry jar trickle filter for filtration. My spawn
this year was the first week in June. The fry vary from around 1/2 inch to
almost 2 inches. Last year I did my cull in late September, with a few fish
put into the main ponds for the winter (heated), but most went to the LFS.
I think some of them were about 3 inches, but some were still around 1 1/2
inches. I feed the fry about 4 or 5 times a day with flake food because the
stock tank does not have that good carpet of algae that they would feed on
in the pond.

thanks Rich
Im going to pick up a small aquarium tomorrow and move them in wher i
can feed mmultiple times a dayu and monitor the water better
the spawn was about a week ago so they are still rather tiny I just
hope I can move them without hruting any :-)
