Mid June's Shubunkin fry

I saved about a dozen eggs from some yarn mops in the main pond in mid June. I think the parents were largely Shubunkin.

They are raised in greenwater and daphnia and grew quickly.  Fairly consistent with my theory of an inch of fish per month if keep growing well.

While harvesting some daphnia from my main culture today I found an escaped fish. It's about 5 weeks old and pushing a solid 2 inches long.

Here is one of the siblings (see all the pictures here) moved to a smaller tub where they've cleaned out all the daphnia.  They are about 1/3 the size of the big pig.

Here's the Blue fish from the same spawn.
