Thats right! I got FRY!...what fry you may ask...
The 1994 Grand Champion AKA (Australian Koi Association) Koi Bloodlines Koi Fry :P
The breeder was so generous and gave me about 100 or so of these fry!
The Koi fry are less than a week old, so they are quite tiny. Most are about 12mm but still got some at about 8mm. The fry are yellowish because they have been munching on bbs :D The fry outcome should be 90% Platnium Ogon (a.k.a Platnium White) and only 10% Yamabuki Ogon (a.k.a Yellow Gold). Since Ogons (metallic pure colours) are my favourite, I wouldnt mind a pond full of them :P
The Father is a similar looking Platnium Ogon:
And the G/Champ Mother a similar looking and much bigger (21 years old and about 80cm):
The fry are feeding mostly of live newly hatched bbs and the smaller fry on powder foods. When live bbs isnt being served they get the frozen bbs :P But, they preferr the live bbs :)
In a few days time of hardcore feeding, they should atleast double its size. Hopefully I dont have to cull too many :P
Time for some pics.

The young are going to be stunning if the colour of the parents are anything to go by. Congrats on the babies you got and hope you will post more pics as they get bigger.
