Oh! You were referring to the koi babies! No they all died or got eaten.

I woke up the pond this week. Although, it probably woke itself up a few weeks ago; Thanks global warming !! Did a 50% water change and started to feed the fish pre-season/spring food (Wheat Germ). The filter and water feature aren't online yet, that's this weekend's chore. It looks as though quite a few babies made it from last year. I have tiny little koi/comets swimming around this spring. Sadly there are way too many so I will have to cull them.

It doesn't work like that sadly. They just magically appear and your fish disappear.

However I have another solution for you Kien, open your own urban fishing place:

Can't you sell the excess babies to a LFS ?

If not, what about freezing them and making some fish food mash/cubes ?
After all, you're the guy I learned from to make my own SW food
