Here is an introduction to the fish remaining in my pond post-koi. Be sure to click the photos to get a full, uncropped view:
This is Pumpkin, a orange-dominate Shubunkin. Impressive fins!
Ginger is a slim red wakin. I got him at the end of the season from Fins Feathers Paws and Claws, a great pond store in Harleysville, PA.
Bumpkin is a 6″ midnight blue shubunkin that I lucked upon at Aquatic Connections in Trevose.
I bought three little 4″ blue and red shubs from Aquatic Connections to complete the pond. Cal has red down one side and is mostly silver blue on the other.
Sil just has just a patch of red. He is a bit shy, but should be used to the pond soon.
Dom is a fireball in every sense. Lots of red, and he immediately started socializing with the bigger fish.
The newest residents of the pond are a pair of watonai from Hawai’i. Watonai come from breeding wakins with ryukins to create a pond hardy fish with a broader fantail than the wakin. They are named Sparky (white dominate) and Flash (red dominate).
