Some of the koi
They're eating machines right now. I even managed to get a pic of the yellow and white butterfly this time. Both of the butterflies have grown a lot. They are always out swimming with the bigger fish now.

First Betty and Midge, then Reggie and Betty and Reggie, Midge and Veronica

They're beautiful...I think I like Betty the best so far. She reminds me of sunshine.

What beauties! How big are they? I don't know anything about koi. Will they eventually be of similar size?

Moose and Midge are around 16" long now. Reggie and Archie around 10". Jughead and Veronica about 8" Little Betty, around 5". Koi normally get to be 24-36" long. Some can go close to 4 feet. I'm hoping that won't be the case with mine.

They will all end up relatively close in size, but the females tend to get the largest. I'm guessing Midge and Veronica will be the whales of the pond.
