A few new koi from the farm

The more unique butterfly that are small will be kept up until they get a little larger along with any nicley circled Tanchos as well as any other smaller koi that show exceptional potential that I do not want to risk to the snakes turtles and birds. The snakes are by far the biggest taker of koi between 2 and 5 inches. No way to keep them out. Tadpole, the farm pittbull actively hunts and dispatches several snakes a day, but between 90 some odd ponds, he's barely making a dent. Have lost a few potentially nice koi to them. All growout ponds are kept well weeded now. Am hopeing that it will help somewhat.

Thumbs up Good Morning Kiefer

From the looks of these (sizewise) they must be from the August spawn. Several nice lookers, as per usual.

Hey Gazza.....Good to hear from you.

It was the result of semi controlled flock spawning. I have no ginrin stock
so the ginrin are all recessive.

The Tancho and Kohaku are from selective spawnings.
