I was given about 10 kohaku/ sanke fry by a mate with expensive koi one baby looks good from what ive read,first time looking after koi, can people give me an idea of colour later please its 1month old eating mossie wrigglers & some crushed up flake, in a crate with airstone & duckweed do about 20%water change weekly
The first pic is the mother of the fry the kahaku in pic, hoping my kohaku which is showing bright red head & back potential,looks similar just a pic of the other randoms
With the 8 or so showa fry i have one dark one & going to grow the yellow ones to see what may come out one i took inside to a fish tank has a cool look to it litrle yellow helmet, found another one in the crate i like these two super cute

Pretty stoked got gifted a cool little gold ogon now the battle is keeping them disease free in crates another bog filter needs building for the others that arent as big as my kohaku & black one as i dont want them eaten
Just a couple of others im growing up out of the sanke kohaku fry i was given i know they arent anything special but dont have the heart to give them to a pet shop this small, i will try grow all the fish to tosai before i decide on making a pond or giving the good ones back to my mate or to sell
The fish especially ogon & showa & little kohaku had a late spawn & its winter here are slow growing, i think i wrecked any orange/ red on the showa by it not being in a dark crate or natural bog filter water as its only showing black & white mb poor water quality in crate it was in changed it to dark crate & bog filter crate hoping for the red to come out,
Budget pond 😂 temporary to grow out for 3months, koi fry outgrown the crate bigger bog filter cycling more plants to be added once cycled new fish home.
