Hi Folks,

About a week ago I posted about the varying speed my fry were developing
at. This morning I took a few snaps of the fry, the size difference is
quite dramatic.

=================================
This is just a suggestion - I would separate those larger fry from the
smaller ones. This will give the smaller, less aggressive fish a better
chance to get plenty of food and hopefully catch up a little. As time is
passing I can see differences in my GF and koi fry as well. The differences
aren't as great as with yours though. Most of my fry are around the same
size with a few very small ones and a few much larger fry. I don't know how
you're raising yours. Mine are in 150 gallon outdoor pools 1/3 full of pond
plants. Each has an aerator. They have access to the same natural foods -
then I feed them between 4 and 6 times a day. They're now eating tiny Betta
pellets, flakes, dried tubafex worms and crumbled shrimp pellets. I
sprinkle the food all around the open area to give them all a good chance to
eat.

Know nothing about raising fry, in my pond it is
survival of the fittest... but great pictures! Good
luck with the babies.

I like the duckweed for comparison to size. So what kind of fry are they?

A bit of everything I suspect - the mother is a red/orange shubunkin,
the fathers are comets, blue shubunkins, and goldfish.

Already done, the 5 biggest are in their own place now. The rest were
split into two halves. One half was returned to the pond where there is
plenty of watercress in the margins for them to hide and feed in. This
is more an experiement to see if any manage to survive.

The other half have been put in large window boxes which I lined and
added various plants to. These I will continue to feed as before. Plenty
are space and small water changes each day.

It will be interesting to see which ones fair best.

## Some will but most wont. In my ponds, full of plants, most do not
survive unless removed to their own ponds/pools.

## That's hard to say. It all depends on water quality, food, competition
etc.
