Ki Shusui Harvest 2015
With Amazing Photos by Sally Green! 
 
 
What happened with the 2015 ki shusui spawn?

There was no 2015 spawn! And that's the good news.

Some of the females went from first class to unacceptable over the winter. 

Every time a door closes, we get to choose more oyagoi to replace the ones who failed.

During this harvest, we examined the F1offspring, and picked two new females to spawn next year.

About the October 2015 harvest of the Ki Shusui Project Pond.

Hi, all, 

The point of the 2015 pull was to reduce the fish load, exchange the old water for clean and most importantly, take a look at how the F1 oyagoi are coming along. 

1. We did examine and photograph the three F1 males who will used in the 2016 spawn.

2. We checked out the back-up females that didn't make the first cut last year. They will replace the two females who lost their winning looks over the winter and also the fish who "disappeared.'' The potential replacement females look very promising. 

3. We checked out the fry from the ki shusui 2014 redo spawn of the original parents,  as well as general flock spawn from the residents of the Big Pond. 

4. Having identified the best potential oyagoi and photographed them, all were returned to the Big Pond for the winter. We will pull the pond again in May and set up the winners for breeding.

This site is a documentation of my breeding project in New York State. I am trying to stabilize a line of kishusui. To date, this has never been done. My thanks to those who have asked to buy my fish. At present, we do not sell koi -- or anything else! Thanks for stopping by. :wave:
