New Babies

Here are pictures of the new babies!  Our first real KOI!  It's been a lot of years that we dreamed of having a koi pond.  I always wanted a yellow one too.  It was actually a small dream but if you wait, plan and prepare your dream can happen exactly or even better than you expect!!! 
You can see how their heads are a different shape and you can see their little mustaches.  This picture had the flash on so you can see how shimmery they are in the light.  Almost metalic looking...

You can tell their size in the next picture.  They are 5"-6" in length.  That is one of the other calico fishies swimming by in the upper left corner and the blood crown in the bottom left.  Also, see how their side fins layout like wings.

Again, In this picture you can tell their size compared to the other guys.  About half the size of our big Red & White.  The same as the small orange goldfish.  They are faster swimmers than the goldfish.  They "dart" when they want to.
They are already letting me pet them this morning.  They can get 1'-2' long, depending on their environment and can live up to 40 years!  I think they are going to be lifelong friends!!!  Names! They need names!  Any ideas?!?!?!
