Update

[Ghost fish]

Red head incoming on my little showa

[Ghost fish]

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

[Ghost fish]

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

Shukkeien gardens hiroshima, worth the aussie equivelant two bucks 60 cents entry &$1 a bag for koi food

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.

I'm glad you are still updating the thread as I'm enjoying watching them grow/change. Good luck!

Update spotted this little showa at the aquarium so i purchased it for $30 just growing all these up to 12cm them releasing into a loca japanese gardens massive koi dam

Mini kohaku was so small ddnt think it would make it through the winter kept it as company for the showa but i feel the showa's red never came out through poor water quality & now looks more like a shiro both starting to boost in better conditions with bog filter & no competition for food as both of them are skittish with other fish at feeding time

Quick question when catching cleaning tank the fin underside at back got caught in fish net i cut it all down to minimal netting still caught anyone know how to remove with a fish fighting flipping around it was under stress from the many attempts to remove so put back in to try again wondering if left will it affect the fish as it grows its so minimal but font want it restricting fin or getting caught on something later
