Well, on the best Koi line, the offspring are starting to pair up. I snagged this young couple out of the 55 with the others. Three hours later...boomba, they've spawned....sweeeeeeeeet ;D

First full day passed. They had a few white eggs, and they're sucking them off, and tending...a very good sign...especially for their very first spawn each.... ;D

Well I am still waiting for my Koi to do something. Maybe I'll move a couple around to other tanks to see if they like some of my other angels.  :-\ I hate to break them up because I really like the Koi.

I'll have to sneak up and watch them.  When they see me they stop what they are doing, line up side by side, shimmy and beg for food.  They are some greedy suckers. ;D ;D ;D
