I agree, that the spawning wouldn't have set the Koi back too much in terms of growth. But, imagine two round blue bowls of about 80cm diameter full of fry from around 10cm to about 30cm. These bowls were containing fry, not water. Some of them were actually decent looking Koi, but were still thrown out because their parents were not known. All of these Koi were competing with about 65 bigger Koi for the daily food rations. I have one Sanke that grew like a freak despite this, coming out at 65cm. The most popular size out of the pond was abour 55cm.
Mike.
