Hi Brettkoi,,
Is this the first lot of babies you have bred???
What`s the body shape like as I have seen some english bred koi that tend to be short and dumpy???
Cheers

hi dazz ,no i have bred them once before the first lot were nothing special but the body shape was fine..this years are great (last years babies),the body shape colour and growth is 100% better..different diet this year and the main two spawning were a top kohaku (show winner) and my big (female) komunryu..so far i have showa,s,kohaku,Chagoi,kujaku,komunryu,sanke...not one ogon at all a lot are still developing so only time will tell..i did have the usual amount of bent up tails or mishaped bodies but ive not the heart to cull em.will post some pics of them let me know your veiws...
