| I enjoy raising koi too and I am lucky enough to have my own mud ponds. I just put the females out yesterday and will put the males out soon. Their were lots of mosquito larvae etc in some of the ponds. My experinece is somewhat limited. If I had the nerve to cull that heavy it would be great I always want to watch the development of the fry. The less you have the faster they grow that is for sure. You need to use the best parents possible and have a clear goal for an outcome. What do you want to produce what type and quality. I am breeding some from Sakai this year and hope I get some better color in the off - spring. I have showa kohaku and utsirimono parents.
