After many failed attempts to get koi through aquabid I finally got 7 BEAUTIFUL koi from Jon! Picked them up from the post office this morning and they are already showing great color and searching the sand for food!

Camera is currently dead but will be uploading pictures when i get the chance!

Most excellent!  ;D.....they'll eat most anything...LOL...I've been using Tetramin color flake to help them develop their colors and coverage. The genes are there, just help em along some. You might need to crumble the flake just a little for now....pop the pics up when you are able....daylight, and brighter, bulbs show them off real well....

Are those the ones with all the black plus the high coverage?

That's a really nice group of koi.  Will be interested in seeing their various phases of development.
