Ok, let me re-explain. My old directions kind of even confused me.
1. At the bottom where there is a button that says "Browse..." to the right is a box with "Inline" next to it-click that box.
2. Next click the button that says "Browse..." and find your file in your computer, and open it.
3. To the right of where it says "Inline" click the "Upload attachment" button.
4. Now your attachment with your picture in it should appear just about all the buttons you have been clicking. Now you need to click on the little button at the top of the screen that has the picture icon. A small window pops up with a couple of options. It should have the "Image Location" circle already selected, you need to select the "Inline Image" circle. Then your picture's name should come up at the bottom of that little window. You then click the circle next to your picture, and hit "Submit" and voila...pictures on your post. You can only use this procedure 2 times for each post.
Hopefully these directions are a little clearer and help you out.
Anywho, tonight I was fishing some leaves out of the pond, and I decided to do a bit of actual fishing. Using my net I caught a few of the babies, including the colorful one posted above in one of the old pictures. I don't think they are actually koi because they are about 2-3", some of them even bigger, and they don't have barbels. I still like the colorful ones though, so I'll keep them as my little mutt friends and use the ugly ones for walleye bait.

Check your babies for barbels and by 3" you should be able to tell if they are koi or not

How many months will it take? By the end of the summer will they be that big? Hopefully I'll be able to catch the ones I don't want and bring them to my lfs and get credit for them or something. But I'm also hoping that they will be koi babies so we can keep them and let them grow! I have another question about growth rates...my 3 biggest koi are all 10-12" long, how big should they be by the end of the summer? I know they have grown, but I was just wondering how big they should get by the time they have been in the pond for about 2 summers. I kind of wish that I lived in the south so they could grow all year long but it gets a bit too cold here for that so I'll just have to wait.
Today I was actually planning on trying some other foods, but the problem is, they've never liked to eat anything else. I've tried oranges and they taste it but spit it back out. They are pigs but only if its the same type of food. But I'll try some veggies and see if they like them...they should be hungry enough by the time I go to work tonight and they might eat it. Anyways the pond isn't overstocked or anything, it has 6 koi and its about 1,200 gallons. Once these baby koi grow up it will be overstocked but I don't plan on keeping them all. 
these are much better....crazy horses under the hood
