BJS How big is your pond? We all like pics. heh heh heh. I will need to either get a long seine or drain the pond again to get all the little ones out again next spring. I have two ponds joined together by a very short bog and stream. The upper one is 10' x 12' 3 & 1/2' deep. The lower one is 15' x 30' and ranges frpm 2 & 1/2' down to 3 & 1/2' by the water-fall.
I have around 30 full time resident koi, and at least 2 or 3 times that many babys any where from 1/2" to 6". I usually find people who want some. I have sold some. However it is usually more fullfilling to give them to someone who will apriciate them.
I have three that are very close to 29" to 30" and the others are around 16" to 18"
That actually puts me a wee bit on the overload side. I make sure I have adaquit agitation to keep the oxygen level up.
