My first fry have hatched
Hi all,
My first ever fry hatched this evening I inherited the fish (Koi, goldfish, comet) from my step father and had to rush build a pond to keep them late last year. I added a couple of comets and shubunkins in early spring and they spawned last Tuesday. I lifted the weed into a small tank and kept it indoors. A few minutes ago I saw several fry dashing about in the weed. When the fish spawned it looked like a single shubunkin was mum... anyone tell what I can expect the young to look like with their mixed parentage? TIA, Andy |

I prefer the matts myself. A few will probably always be a mud brown. I'm trying to cull out everything that's not a shubunkin in my ponds. The shubunkins are the prettiest (in my opinion). -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing."

Andy A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Many will be dark, others may color early, the dark ones will color later, and some will stay dark. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
