at least GF fry tend not to eat things that dont appear to be moving. they
like live food. I would see if anybody got some brine shrimp or even get
some wet pack krill or "live" food of some kind for them. Ingrid

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
