Shishu Koi
At last month's meeting/auction, I purchased one Shishu Koi and two Butterfly
Shishu Koi. I placed them in a quarantine tank and the very next day, one of them spawned. Needless to say, within a few days, I had probably a couple hundred babies swimming around. The babies are still in the quarantine tank with floating hyacinths & parrots feather. - Any idea how many might develop into butterfly Koi? - How long does it take to develop butterfly fins if that's what they are? - Is algae enough for them to eat or should I also feed them something else? - What do I do with all these babies? Thanks! Lisa |

Hi Bill,
I'll answer your question - don't know that Lisa will see it. The auction was in St. Louis last week at our regular pond club meeting. I wasn't able to attend but I hear there were some marvelous things there.
