At what size will you start selling these, Mug?  I'm asking for a friend who will want some but who hates the internet.
Always move forward. Never look back.

I normally start selling off some at quarter sized bodies....sometimes smaller if the person knows how to care for fry.

What size tank do you moved them to at that size? Is that a ten or a 20? With all the young fry I have right now I'm running out of space for small tanks and jars.

I put them in a 30 long....they're doing fine. With a smaller batch, I'd have used a 20gal...

I really haven't counted...100-200....??...I did a small cull for weaker fry...if I was raising a real delicate spawn and had 50+ fry..they'd be in a 10gal.....It's likely that I'll end up with about a 100 or so to grow out. I'm being very selective with this batch...I'm going to pull another when they spawn again today/tomorrow...
I'll split the present batch up in a week, as I see the growth spurts from them..or maybe just toss em all in a 55, and select from there to put in another 55...???...

So far they've been in the 30 long about a week...growing very good, check the other vid above,
They're ,also, showing the black that I'm after...doesn't show too well in the clip, but a good bunch are 50% black coverage....makes for some real nice Koi expression.

There looking good. It so hard to get a picture or video of fry. They don't stay still.

Very nice.  I see some of the dark ones with the black that you're looking for.  It's interesting watching them develop.
