Koi fry
A while ago we mentioned that we were trying to get some fry from the
koi breeding. Well... We just got back from an extended vacation. The kids watched the homestead while we were away. Yesterday, I looked into the ponds....KOI FRY. I thought they might have cme from the blue furnace filters I moved from the main pond to the berm pond when they were spawning...but there are koi babies in the one before that...no way did they jump up the 3" fall. Must have been sucked through by the filter from the bottom of the 'deep well' in the main pond (7' depth of old septic tank.). Clearly two groups of fry, maybe three. A look at the fry shows the various fathers of the babies. We may have as many as 15 new koi...more than the parents in the pond. We will try to work out something with the pet stores! It is nice to see the successful breeding...now we need to figure out what to do next. Jim
