On the morning of May 31st, I had two females spawn. Since I had no more room to separate the koi, I just let it go naturally. One was a 3 year old 24" GinRin Chagoi (also have a male) which I purchased from Sugar Loaf Koi in Sept. 2005. The other female is a 2 year old 19" Showa I purchased from Lee at Thekoifarm.com in June 2006. The Showa had allot more black but within 30 days of putting it in my pond the black faded. Next year I'll separate the pair of GinRin Chagois. Well at least now I know who the males are in my pond!
