Those babies are Comets goldfish, not Koi

I was away for 2 weeks and how the babies have grown while I was away. They can now be positively identified as comets, not Koi.

It is interesting to see that the colour combination of the baby comets are so different from the parents. The 4 adult comets are all light pink and single colour (as shown above) while these babies come in various colours combinations – orange, black, pink, white and combination of these. They have “kohaku”, “sanke” and even “bekko”-like colour patterns.

The comet babies come in 3 sizes. I believe there had been  at least 3 spawning over the past month or so.  Now that the population of the lily pond have increased from 2 Koi and 4 comets to 2 Koi and countless number of comets, I doubt any new fries from any subsequent spawning from now on would survive.
