Re: [GSAS-Member] Goldfish Babies from Last Year

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

I wish I'd kept notes (weak grin)....I can only say that every surviving
baby from mini-ponds I kept either all orange or sarasa comets in turned
orange or orange-white at some point. But that's a pretty small sample
size....certainly not hundreds or thousands! Hopefully someone else has
observations and I'm gonna note down the day I notice color change with
this batch (fingers crossed).

Only other observation is that all-white comets are all-white as babies as
well. It only seems to be the orange color that comes out later. Seems
like some koi colors develop that way also!

By the way, my baby koi from last year love the 150g stock tank and are
almost as large as the koi I bought at the koi show who are a year older.
I'm down to 4 left from the grow-out contest, but then, I don't really
have room for many more (sigh).
