Mike-

I'm stopping there cuz there ain't no more. Heck I didn't even get my camera out Saturday or Sunday.

The guys thought that they caught more than half with their time saving power pull through the pond. I don't know if they were planning to drain the pond Tuesday or not, but it was full when they flew through to get these for us. I believe I heard they had another whole pond form this spawn also.

The ochibas were confusing. Many were the light ones that are valued for their yellowish cha. Their patterns were the easiest to see. The mediums showed as blue and brown fish and the blue is beautiful. Will they darken and be less attractive? ?? ??? The dark fish that I regret not choosing showed only a small variation of color between the dark blue and the brownish blue patterning.

I heard Dick remark right away that the patterns were mostly following the pattern of the mother by being heavy headed and you can see this in most of mine.

For the numbers question my answer would have to be "few" What pattern and color will evolve from what I saw? Dunno, but very exciting.
