| Question: | We have Koi and goldfish. We also noticed some small fry yesterday about 1/2'-3/4' long. At what size do koi get barbels? | Related links |
| Answer: | I can see barbels on Koi as small as 3/4 inch - you should put them in a clear glass or plastic container and look closely. Even from a very small size, such as 3/4" you will notice that Koi are elongated, whereas Comet babies are shaped elliptically, much like a human eye. | Related items |
