You can see the ochiba and sushi there in the bowl mate. If you want them . There yours. No charge. I ain't doing this to sell fish. Just an hobby. And fun.
You can collect any time. Or in the summer. No problem. Up to you mate.
I like them both myself. But I like even the mutts that are in my pond.
Haha

there is ways and means mate. if you wanted them in the next weeks mate. or two. my tempreture in the grow on is 20c. I could bring it down to your pond tempreture. 1 1\2 degree a day . so you can collect when you want them.
or I could grow them until spring mate up to you. thought it would be nice for your little girl as well bud.
just let me know what you decide mate. and give it say five days. to equalise tempreture down.

No problems mate. Spring it is. I will up there feed. To bring them on. As I said I was experimenting with them. Bringing them on slower this year. The ochibas brown has only just come through this week. It was just a dark grey until this week. The other ochiba is still grey no brown. But if it comes through you can take your pick which one you want.
And between now and spring. Tell the little one
I will put a photo up every couple of months. So she can see her shushi growing.
With the ochiba photo. My shushi in the pond looked the same. Then after about 6 months in the main pond. With sun Ray's on it the colours developed better.

When I get all sorted I would love to do what you and a few others have done with fry this yeah . I've bought small koi to grow but not fry to change and develop like I've been watching on here seems like a whole different joy to the hobbie . Did you get yours from them at blackers? . Ar she ll love the pictures mate she is over the moon and excited asks every day to see her fish at home so a new one is ten times the hype Haha must take after me Haha

Mine was bought at love aquatic Blackpool.
They was bought 2x batches of 5. So 10 in total.
I have 11 as they gave me 12. One jumped out .dead . They was bought at 4 inch but they was between 2 inch and 3 inch.
The shushi is now six and a half inch to 7 inch. So is the ochiba. But very broad bodies. There Israeli koi.
