This is amazing. I hatched some babies for the first time this year and it wasn't nearly this many. It's really cool to watch them grow. Do you have any current pictures?
EDIT: Didn't see page 2. They're looking great.

It's 2020 and time for another spawn. Big spawn this year, about 10-20% of the fry are shown.
Wow! How exciting! What do you do with the fry once they grow?
Group. Couldn't be bothered doing selective since I don't have room to keep any more for growout.
I'm guessing 2-3 fish spawned, 20-30,000 fry right now. My largest kohaku girl didn't participate, she was really getting beaten up the next day so I stripped her and got about a cup of eggs. Would have been at least another 20,000. LOL
Next year maybe I'll strip her and fertilize manually with a nice kohaku male. The eggs pic is in the bottom of a 17 gallon bucket (for perspective).
Day 12 2020 spawn

They have been growing
Yeah, the size looks good. How big are most of them now?
I've got 5 lots right now. Day 16
Indoor Spoiled Brats (all the live food they want) 1-1.25" pic in post #53
Indoor Chosen Ones (as much live food as I can afford and filtration can handle) about 3/4 -1"
Indoor Regular eaters (mostly pellet food) about 3/4"
Indoor Green water (mostly algae) about 3/4"

Sorry if I missed it, but what variety are these? Are these kohaku/sanke/bekko like your 2019 batch? You sure got a lot of 'em.
