Review of the Jul 14 Kohaku spawning
Seine netted the grow on pond today and reviewed how the kohaku's from the Jul 14 spawning are progressing.
Scores on the doors. Largest one is 25cm. Happy with that, considering their spawning date - and it stood 1 inch clear of the rest, with most of the larger ones between 18cm and 22cm. The smallest ones are just 15cm.

There was no selection in today's review - just assessing what I've got.
Getting up close to some of these kohaku has been long overdue, and with today's review under my belt, I have my favorites and can start to track a few with recognisable patterns in the tank.
