Nathan Explosion

I got my first koi at the same time as I got the last two goldfish, in January 2009.  He's a standard koi...which are really just fancy domestic carp.  They can grow pretty much as big as their environment allows.  I decided to name my first after the lead band member of Dethklok from the show Metalocalypse.

Nathan Explosion was only about two and a half to three inches long when I got him.














He was the baby of the big tank at the time...

But he grew and grew...The pic above and below are from October 2009

And here he is a few days ago, now at a WHOPPING 13 inches (approx)...
