My Cuttlebrook fry.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0hxR1ggREo
Think I have cracked it,been trying to sort out how to upload this YouTube was trying to do it from my apps hope it works now.
Maybe some can help with what some of these are,around 12 weeks old and growing good.

My Cuttlebrook fry.
Looking good John some have grown really well.
The all white ones will be the Shiro Muji likely from a Kohaku spawn with no Hi.
Not sure on the others but likely to be Ochiba as I find these can vary a fair amount in colour.
I did not hear you mention Kikokuryu but I’m sure a lot of the metallic look like beni Kikokuryu but maybe they are matsuba
Keep us updated on progress

Thanks Mike,
Yes coming on,Kikokuryu went on the list but some may have slipped in.
I quite like the yellow faces and white faces as they are different,a few Tancho some gin rin which I may keep.
You have some Mike?John

The yellow face ones could well be Hariwake.
I have a few fry from Adam Byer. Was a chag, soragoi, ochiba and karashigoi mix.
Growing well and around 12 weeks old now. Not grown to your sizes though did you say 6”? That’s impressive I would say my largest it 3.5”

I was only joking..
One of mine looks white not quite as big as some of the ochiba, i think its a Karishigoi.
Yes most of my koi are from Cuttlebrook as they are very local to me, i only picked up the fry on a whim when i went to visit Adam for the first time back in September and being late in the season he did not have anything else available that caught my eye. also he has some stunners there that were not for sale!

Sometimes the water has a magnifying or demagnifying effect depending how far under the surface they are or what angle you are viewing them at
I think the shallower the angle the more short and fat they look. Maybe that's my problem but unfortunately there's not normally any water involved

Maybe you could put something in the tank as a bench mark so you can gauge their sizes better? A plastic ruler or something similar?
