2021 new forest koi fry grow on
As some of you know I've received my fry from new forest koi (can't fault them)
After counting them there is a few extra than orderd
So now have 155 6/8 week olds in the following varietys. Sanke, goshiki, and ginrin matsukawabake, kohaku and beni kumonryu
And 360 2/3 week old with the varietys
Doitsu Hariwake, Doitsu Matsuba, Doitsu Kujaku, Mizuno Ogon, Kujaku, Shusui, Yamabuki Ogon and Platinum Ogon
..
Had 1 with a bent spine when I was counting them which is expected when they havnt been graded/culled.
All have settled in well (in separate tanks because of size difference) feeding very well I have both tanks set at 22.
When talking to new forest they advised 22 to bring every one along. Turn up to 24/25 if you wnat the biggest to get bigger quicker but the smaller ones will slow down.
I'll try to update every week although there might not be much change from week to week.
Should be a fun learning experience. Cheers

No good messing on dipping ya toes in mate. Who knows how much I'll regret it later lol but all part the fun. Main goals are learning and hoping for 1 keeper of every variety will have to up the bio on main pond to cope but I wanna do that any way.

last feed is 2 in the morning then first feed at 6. . Well under what I need tank size tbf John got a 300gal and a 100 gal. I'll have to start a bit earlier moving on even if it means giving some away for the better ones to have the chance

When I phoned nf up to order them they ask if I wanted a food pack which has about 3 different stages for the 6/8 wo think it was about 10 quid
And a think it's a 5 stage pack for smaller ones . . Apparently it's what they use for the fry they keep aswell so must be decent stuff . It's just tagged at new forest fry food . Some said it's cooplands same as the osw
