      I caught 2 of the very dark ones during the afternoon feeding.
      Looks like they are getting some color (that cannot be seen from above).

      Since the mother is ginrin chagoi crossed with a sanke and a ki kikokuryu, you could get quite a variety. I've seen orange and white arise from black fry that that involved a sanke parent. So there could be a few fry that do like that. At the moment, and for a few months their load on you biological filtration will be pretty light. So if you wanted to give them more time to see what you get you could do that.

      I would almost suggest removing any with deformities, but catching them in there may be difficult. Whenever it comes that time, wearing a head lamp and netting at night can be helpful, because they can't see the net coming and you won't have glare from the sun.
      We were posting at the same time.
      Thanks for your input and advise

      the greenish ones

      Today I caught 3 of the "greenish ones".
      Some of the pics are terrible (I wanted to do it quickly), but they give you an idea of how they look at the moment

      yellow and black (your koi) make green. The green will disappear as they get older when the true color arises.
