Really hard to get a good shot of their colors showing, but they're only a week or so free swimming and showing signs of being an exceptional spawn. These are from a pairing off the 'One eyed Willy' and 'Princess' lines. This has been a ptoject of mine, over the years they have been crossed and recrossed with my 'original' line. There has been no outside angel stock brought in the use, except 8 dimes from Jeff Bollbach (Lute17) back in 2006. They were used to cross into 4 different lines and then selected fry were grow for use in further crossing. The 'Original' pair were two Blue Koi from a Gold Marble ghost spawn. I'm enjoying the ride...LOL...it's nice to see it all change and grow..over and over.....



Parents....

Your koi look great Jon!  I love the profile of the parents' heads.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Thanks, Josh....a lot of fry, and cross's were done to start to get these. Worth the trip...LOL...I have a few more cross's to try. I need to be able to get better Koi, and sustain the line. Next up is adding getting more red..especially in the crown..
