Thanks Mike. I don't know how they grew so much as I didn't start really feeding them till after I came down and bought food at the show???????

They were in a 150 stock tank up until last weekend, they're now in the main pond.

#60 still looks the same as it did in the original first pics. I stressed them pretty bad when I took the last pics and the latest pic looks like the underlying sumi is gone/receeded. From the time I received the fish till last weekend I never even looked at them Had window screen over the tank and would just make sure I saw the correct # of fish still swimming Just did water changes and tossed food in

You know I can grow them, but I always have a tendency to stretch the chit out of um'.

Now that they are in the main pond, I think their growth will slow. They're to scared to come to the surface to feed from what I can see
