Jerry I have had same experience as you. Several years ago. Now they are about 8 to 10
inches long, and gold in color. Not a bad looking fish. Koi mess in my lilies pots, and as Kit
Knots says, lilies rule around here!!! I have a neighbor's cat who "fishes" in my pond. I
don't want anything to happen to these fish, irregardless of the fact that I paid 12 cents
each for them. They aren't bad looking flashing red in the water. Just keep them, they'll
grow, be nice to look at, and are not expensive.
