If I had something to show different i would. Not too much is changing with them right now and I have crowded them in too tighly with others so the growth and maturation is not happening right now, I should get the heaters going soon in the greenhouse and that will help with the metabolism.

I don't know if I shared with you but I looked at my own asagi 3 year old recently and saw that she quietly grew to be the biggest koi in my pond. My pictured showa used to be #1, but the asagi came up for food side by side and was a bit bigger! She is from magoi bloodline and is genetically disposed to get big. fat chance in my tiny pond!

I hadn't realized i was such a chatter mouth with numbers. really isn't my objective...I quess i take too much of an interest in what goes on here! Like a few of my friends suggest " i should get a life"! (lol)
