After our morning coffee we're draining the main (2000g) pond. We have
to do this yearly now to remove all the fry from the previous summer. We
also cull out one or two adults so the others have more space as they
grow. It's an all day job. The fry have to be culled into several
groups at this time. All the tubs are ready and waiting. I'm eager to
see some of the fry "close up." Anything really attractive will be held
over. A lot of work but fun! :-)



Fry and adults of "what"?

Koi, both short-fin and butterfly. The shubunkin goldfish are behind the
house in large 720g above ground pools.
