      What are these larger white and orange koi babies?

      Sorry in advance for the newbie questions.

      I just put some 3" fry into a larger cage, they are from Blackwater Creek Gosanke Peanuts and a small amount from a local grower that said most would be butterfly. I have some large orange koi which from what I could find out would be Benigoi? What are the larger solid white koi? Will these orange and white ones get huge or will they grow to the size of goldfish?

      I was wondering where ogon koi came from. If you breed two Kohaku together can you get any breed of koi depending on the past parents or will you get all Kohaku? Is there a guide to how breeding certain koi will produce what type babies?

      Carperama if the parents of your Kohaku fry are both Kohaku you have a better chance at producing more stable colors. From my Kohaku I get Kohaku, tancho Kohaku, Benigoi, Shiro muji and both of my parent koi come from Kohaku lineages. From what am seeing in your pictures am guessing there are atleast 3 different sets of parents. So if you're planning on breeding koi start getting ready your koi should be ready by 2027.
