Above you see red dots - that is crushed koi food. The white blotches are boiled egg yolk - the fish love their protein!
The biggest fish are two inches long and are starting to earn names. In this picture, you can see "Rudolf" on the right (bright nose), and Samurai Jr. near the top (black with yellow head - named after his father.) The orange ones are mostly named "Sunny" and the black ones are mostly called "Ninja." The multi-colored fish are named "Spot." We'll see how the grow.
Above you see three black fish and four yellow fish each about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long.
A good view of the size differences. The smallest ones just aren't growing as fast or strongly as the larger ones. The small ones are dying off - we can tell the population is dwindling. The strongest ones will survive. They have to be strong to survive a New England winter.
