Great pictures! I understand they like hard boiled egg yolk too. Regards, Hal |

The mother is a shubunkin, fathers are comets, shubunkins, goldfish. There are 3 more images up now: http://www.pxl8.co.uk/fry_e.jpg http://www.pxl8.co.uk/fry_f.jpg http://www.pxl8.co.uk/fry_g.jpg The first two show a shubunkin with far more obvious colouring. -- Andy |

The first two are familiar. I have some like that. Most of my goldfish are the matte calico Shubunkins (not the metallic type) and I still have a few Sarassas. When I look in the pools now I can tell the koi from the goldfish fry. I don't have a camera that takes good close-ups unfortunately. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder...

The metallic, I suspect, is just the fish showing natural colouring mixed in with some more exotic hues. There are two that look bronze/silver with one having an thin orange stripe along its back. I'm keen to see how these two turn out when they're bigger, hopefully the metallic qualities will stay. When I look in the pools now I can tell the koi from the goldfish fry. I I don't have any koi fry to compare with. Maybe next year :) don't have a camera that takes good close-ups unfortunately. My pics were taken with a Canon EOS-300D (digital rebel for US readers) with the 18-55mm lens. -- Andy |

That to me is part of the fun of raising them. :-) You never know what you're going to get. When I look in the pools now I can tell the koi from the goldfish fry. I I don't have any koi fry to compare with. Maybe next year :) $$ They're the cutest little buggers, tame and friendly and the colors are a surprise as in the Shubunkin goldfish. don't have a camera that takes good close-ups unfortunately. My pics were taken with a Canon EOS-300D (digital rebel for US readers) with the 18-55mm lens. $$ Lucky you! I have a regular digital HP. It takes fine pics but close-ups are not real great. We don't take enough pics to make it worth our while to buy a good expensive camera. Please keep us updated on the growth of your fry. :-))) -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder...

I was checking on my tubs outside this morning and I found these three
guys hiding inside one. http://www.pxl8.co.uk/new_guys.jpg The tub was originally where I put the weed when I rescued it after spawning. The largest one is a good 1 1/2 inches, guess you can't beat a natural diet! I was in Italy in June and brought back a load of duckweed from a stream, it was full of tiny leeches and I left it the tub for a few weeks to quarantine - guess the 3 new guys had a nice feast! -- Andy |

The fry we netted from the large pond 2 weeks ago are at least 1/3 larger than most of those being raised in the kiddy-pools. Those in the kiddy pools have plenty of plants and algae to munch on but I bet every other critter in there was eaten long ago. Their main diet is commercial goldfish food. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
