koi or goldfish fry ???	Can't Post

hi

is there a way to tell between goldfish and koi fry ?? i witnessed the spawning and i am hoping its from 2 of my kohakus ,the only problem was i had goldfish in the pond at the time as well which have been removed because they were bulling one of the younger kohakus (chasing ,fin nipping )i think they thought she was large enough to mate with ,she died last week ,

i seem to have a few color variations ,brown,yellow,white, is there any way to tell ?

You'll have to wait until they are big enough to develop barbels, which should become evident at around 2" in length. The colors won't tell you anything until they've had time to mature quite a bit more. Koi have barbels, Goldfish and Koi/Goldfish hybrids don't.
