It all started with one koi that was born of a winecoat and ursine. I bred her with everything I had that was compatible but got no more kois.

I bred her plain offspring and got plain grand kids. I bred the plain grandkids back to the original koi and started getting more kois.

But today they really surprised me. I have several stumps of otherwise plain offspring paired up and was very surprised to get 3 emperors. All from pairs of plain koi grandkids.

Never underestimate the grand kids!

A few days ago I released over 60 meeroos to focus on my line breeding and my personal regard took a big jump. No way to know if this is evidence of regard at work or just luck but I'll take it either way :)
