We're trying to identify what the fish in our pond are. You'd think we'd know cos we put them there but really don't have a clue.
At first I thought they were golden orfe as I know some went in but from what I can see on the net it ain't them.
They're about 8 - 10 inches and look as though they've been painted with gold. They have those hanging things near their mouths and some sort of a ridge over their eyes.
Then we have another that appears to have the same mouth and eye thing but this one is silver with the most lovely blue down it's back (same size as the others).
Then we have this thing that is either a pregnant goldfish (even though it looks completely different) or is funny shaped. It's almost triangle with a normal tail. We did put in fan tails and shubunkin could it be one of these.
Also anyone know why an otherwise healthy koi doesn't grow like the others.?
Cheers.
