I few days ago while doing some plant maitnence on my pond I found 5 small baby fish in the plant rings. My question is when do you see color in the koi, i had baby goldfish last year and were brown to black in color till they were a few weeks old and about an inch. The babies I found are a little less than half an inch but are already various shades of black and orange, they were silver the first day. They are too small to see any barbs.

Koi are usually colored when they hatch as opposed to goldfish who aren't except for shubunkins which are also colored.
