Not too happy.

I moved the fish from the 300 gallon QT to the 5560 pool conversion today. They had great growth and you can clearly see they haven't missed a meal. LOL

My first choice at 15th, #146, has 6 yellow scales on her left side. I doubt they'll go away.

The Tancho Showa has less than 1/2 her tancho left so I'm sure it will totally disappear.

Otherwise, they are doing very well, growing fast and their shiroji is really nice. I took all these photos in the shade so the whites aren't popping like they do in the sun.

Pick #15 - Fish #146 (arrived at 7", is now 9")


Pick #48 - Fish #134 (arrived 5", is now 6")


NOT IN CONTEST:

Fish #103 (arrived 6", is now 8.25")


Fish #82 (arrived 6.5", is now 8.5")


Fish #180 Tancho (arrived 6", is now 8")

Those yellow scales are quite the surprise. It's to bad about the tancho

I put all the growouts into a 5560 gallon pool conversion that I just finished. They are the only fish in the pool except for 3 goldies. The pool is 16'x4' deep.

That sounds like an ideal setup for the grow-out.

I'm trying to decide on putting mine in the koi pond with some fish at 20" or leave them inside in the Q. The Q is about 900 gal but the koi pond is 13,000.

The larger fish will not harm smaller fish. They would be fine in the big pond.
