I thought koi only got whiskers as they matured, didn't think the little ones did? I just stick to cheap goldfish they are pretty enough and easy to care for. I got them at walmart. Started them out in a 10 gal tank for a couple months to make sure they were healthy and then tossed in the pond. Didn't see them again, assumed they died. 9 months later, showed up one day with tons of kid
They are now 6 inches long, only put them in last year
they must like the vittles in there...
