for all i know there might be just a few fry or maybe over a hundred. I will
have to wait.
the rosy red eggs did hatch yesterday. indoors in a 125 gallon tank. my
guess is about 40 % of the starting number of eggs might have hatched. but
i still have NOT found a single fry in the tank. but maybe they are larva
for awhile. i dont know. the water there is cool also. they took about 12
days also and the temp is about 60F.
On sunday may 13, the weather turned from nice and hot to cold again. it
has stayed cold every day since sunday spawning. in fact that sunday was
cold but the previous day was hot and the fish started spawning immediately
in the early morning. so they must have thought the water would warm up
which it never has. hehe.
i really thought all the koi eggs would die from the cold. but they are
more hardy then i thought. they are hatching. at least some are. of
course i have no idea how many eggs were in the pond. after the spawning i
could only find a few eggs.
