thanks for the updates, they're looking good. ah seng has been using different parent sets after this batch? how big were the parents? hee, sorry I'm asking a lot. Just curious how parent size affects the offsprings

Hi jess,

I think generally colour stretches (rather than fade) when koi grow, if they grow fast, the colour will stretch thinner, esp for female koi. My neighbour's pond consist mostly males, they got good strong colour!
