Re: [GSAS-Member] So, how was the... Koi arm-twisting...

I've been surprised by how variable the growth rates are. Unless there are
different hatch dates on the batch???? I've got one that's ~5x larger than
the smallest fry in my inside tank. And I'm starting to see mottling on
some where for the longest time there were just bright light gold. At
least now I know most are large enough to take flake food which is a
relief. I'm very low on live food. Where are all the mosquito larvae this
year????
