of course guessing from a picture is just that a guess. Mine appear to be taken by two different people as the aspect is different, or 13 is pretty small. I'm hoping two people.
Well I underestimated the size of my kids. That's a god things. They are still the smallest koi that will be in my pond, but that will make my little 7" chagoi happy. They are currently having a sleep over at Bill's house until the pond warms up a bit. It was up to 56 today so it is coming up.


# 13 6 1/8"
# 40 6 1/2"

I didn't guess mine Bill, but I can tell you that the one I thought would be heafty was the smaller of the two and the one that was over looked by everyone was a solid 8 inches...I was very suprised!
if nothing else i have learned by this grow out already you can not judge a koi by a picture. I have read that over and over.
And now I get it!

Yep, I agree.

I wonder what the difference would have been in choices had the length been know before picking???

In my case it wouldn't have changed a thing. We guessed 6" and she came in at 7", so it was a pleasant surprise. I am surprised at some of the measurements I've seen posted while others were about what I had expected. If anything I'm surprised at how many are coming in over 7".

I have to say it wouldn't have affected my pics. I like the koi I have and they are actually bigger than I thought they would be. I'm very happy with my pics.
