The young koi are now 3 to 6" long. Some are dropping color and becoming
spotted. Some are deepening in color and others are changing colors in
other ways. When you raise a large number you get to see color and scale
types you don't see in the stores. The prettier, the more unusual ones
are surely picked out for a higher priced market.

The butterfly koi are still the prettiest but the smallest. :-)

Unfortunately the neighbor's kids went fishing in the pond, and all the fish
were caught. Better luck next year.
