Two days ago the adult koi managed to break through the barrier we had erected between them and the eggs. We fairly frantically constructed a new barrier, shooed them out, and isolated the vulnerable eggs once again. I know they ate some, but by the time we finished there were still ample eggs caught in the ample string algae in the NICU. Ironically, we then went out for sushi.
The eggs began hatching some time this morning. At this time there are also a bajillion fry squiggling around in there, each about 7-8 millimeters long. Squeeee! I'd take a picture but can't zoom in that far so here's a koi chart to appease you until next time. By the way, the mommy resembles Gin Matsuba. (Gin...mmm...now I'm thirsty...)
