Default Koi Growth Speed?

Yup. They have lots of water and are not crowded. Of course, if memory
serves me correctly, you haven't been feeding them yet, either . . . imagine
what they would look like if you *had*! One of my fish - spawned in the pond
last July - is at least 14" long, maybe more. I have 2 little "crows" I
added to the pond at the end of March that were a little less than 3" at the
time; they're both about 6" or more now (when I can SEE them! They look like
shadows that move where there shouldn't be any G). Koi grow rapidly, which
is why you need to build big ponds for them. Isn't it a great feeling to see
something thrive under your care like that???

The CFO and I were checking out Shareholders Pond this afternoon, and I
noted how big one of the Koi was. She corrected me and said they are ALL

at
least double in size from when we bought them a month or so ago. Does this
sound right?
