So, this is what I have left of my Wakin, had a bit of a hick-up a few months back (did something stupid!! happens to the best of us I suppose)... link takes you to YouTube for a short video... 3 wakin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYil3KFycQM)
Just 3 little guys, only one is in perfect condition - meaning a solid wakin, can you pick him out? - the other two are crap for a few reasons... any guess as to why?

I am currently looking for a good supplier of wakin - Tracey where are you :grin: I could use who I have been but only about 50% of the wakin goldfish are worth anything,.. the other 50% just don't make the cut for various reasons.

They seem sluggish, is the water very cold ?

I can't see the difference... can you see the differance? :frisbee:

Terri, most of my wakin fry from this past summer were eaten by my koi fry, but I do plan on spawning again this spring - I expect to handle things a little differently to ensure good numbers - We can perhaps strike a deal, Wakin 4 Koi or alcohol :yup:

Sooo, what's the difference between the three?

Phil, water temp is about 13C.

KD, one has a twisted head and tail-tube and body is too short and one has a kink in it's tail-tube and a slight "arch' in the body.

I'll consider your "deal" :grin:

Another nice video, I did notice the kinks but like the coloration of the fish. I've been toying with maybe adding some to the little pond after we redo it this year.....but I'd have to bring them in for the winter.
