Cuttlebrook grow and show Koi - Update
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 9:41 pm
Due to the leak on my plastic growing on pond, I decided to move the two grow and show Koi to the main pond with a few others. All the Koi had been growing really well, as you will see below (please excuse my poor photos).
This is Daisy's Grow and Show. It was 20cm when purchased from Cuttlebrook some 10-weeks ago and today measured 29cm.

Mine measured 30cm

Both Koi have a lot more Sumi now than when purchased, just need the Beni to settle down a little now.
On the Koi Quest day, I also purchased a Chagoi for £5, which measured 10cm. It was a tiny little thing a I guessed it was a runt that Mark and Lisa didnt think worth growing on. Moved it to the main pond today and it measured 26cm!

This Goshiki was also moved across, forgot the measurments - doh

This Beni Kumonryu was 19cm and is now 32cm, had been in the growing on pond for 4-weeks longer though, but 13cm growth in 14 or so weeks is pretty good.

Just a few smaller Koi left in there now, perhaps the extra room will suit them and the will take off like these have done.
