[GSAS-Member] grow-out koi
I swear the colors change daily! My favorite is now a very deep burnt
orange with irridescent scales. I wish I'd kept more of those but space IS
an issue (sigh). It seems like the irridescence starts to show at a
specific LENGTH not at a specific AGE since some of the smallest babies I
had are now reaching roughly 1 1/2" and starting to show glimmers. My
biggest babies have shown that irridescence for a couple months now! Most
are a pale blue-grey with some darkness starting to become more
well-defined along the dorsal cape. Non-shimmery fish: I have one (my
largest) that is STILL pinky-white with just a few pale grey scales near
the dorsal. Others are mostly white with black blotches or orange
head/white body with black blotches. The mostly black fish I had at the
meeting with an orange head is starting to show white blotches within the
black. Fun stuff!
