Growing On Progress

Post by Gazza »

As most of you know i have been growing a couple of koi on so i thought i would have a look today to see how they are doing.

The Shiro is just over 29cm and the Kohku is just over 34cm and they look like they are coming along just fine :D

Hi Pete,

Have you still got the original picture or is it no more???

I must admit it took me ages to find out the best way to post pictures....then i found some host sites that do all the work for you and its just a case of "cut & paste" :D

I like things simple........bit like me :lol:

Looks like you're doing a grand job there Gazza, they both look really nice and have grown some. What sizes were they when they went into the growing-on pond?

Didnt get around to measuring any of mine today, too busy with the bathroom. Perhaps next week I'll sort it out!

Hi Bob,

I am not 100% sure what they was when they went in but on 12.11.05 the Shiro was 27cm and the Kohaku was 32cm

Cheers Jason :D
