Default Koi fry

Hi all - It is soooo nice to see the group back, albeit another incarnation.

I bought 6 little domestic koi fry about 6 weeks ago. They range between 1
and 2 inches. I put them in an aquarium to grow them out a little before
put them in the pond - and as a quarantine. Unfortunately all but 2 don't
seem to be fattening up, infact at least 3 of them are definitely getting
skinny and one died yesterday. The water is fine and the tank was cycled
from the start. In the absence of any other evidence I have to guess it is
my feeding. I have been feeding them goldfish and cichlid flake. It seems
all of them have been eating, but obviously something is amiss. Any
suggestions?
Thanks
