A lot did fade, but some at 4-5” are still hanging on to their spots but I’m not optimistic. I’ll try to get some pics.
In any case I ended up w some pretty good results that I’ll post on a new thread.
Here are are few from that spawn that did not have the kuro tancho. The ginrin are from a different spawn but only a few of those made it.
A few others
Thx. The ginrin were a ginrin ochiba x showa cross. There was a mishap with aeration early on and was only able to save about 40 of the fry at like 5mm size. Had a very high survival rate of those 40 though with around 30 making it to this size.
The other spawn was kohaku x kohaku x showa. Got a ton a variety there. A couple thousand to this size. Have been selling them and giving them away but still many left. Was hoping to get a lot of kohaku but relatively few and they've been very slow to develop (while the others have done very well as you can see).
Some nice metallic ones in there too. They must also be from something other than the kohaku x showa spawn that you mentioned.
This tancho is almost an exact replica of its mother from the ginrin ochiba x Showa cross.
Much slower growth than the others though, around 4”.
